Here in Brooklyn gentrification is gathering steam, but people seem to be
ok with it. I quess it improves the cultural/artistic atmosphere....more avenues for live jazz and book clubs.

There must be something going on in this economy. The kids are wearing designers clothes accented with expensive Beats headphones and there is nowhere to park these shiny new cars!

No! You're imagining it! It's all a big lie! Americans are dumpster diving and eating their own pets! We're all beaten down and horribly oppressed! Come on, man, get with the program!

Ramblin, are you saying that the poor in a metro area are Republicans? I've never seen that. There's whole districts in Cleveland were McCain didn't recieve a single vote.
