While some trash this young lady, and I am assuming she is young, I think it is great that at least she has tried to consider her place and race in a way that many people try to gloss over. True it is a much more monetary issue than she addressed ,however, many race assumptions are tied to money; white = rich = landlord, etc. And money does create tensions. Also, a different attitude and life style invading a neighbor hood also pisses people off. People assuming white people are going to bitch about noise, etc. While this article does smack of a fresh writer, a little naive sounding, over-reaching slightly in some examples (specifically the subway story) , I do think she touches on an interesting paradox. Bottom line is of course everyone without a lot of money is pissed that housing costs so much in New York and the answer is that rich families need to start heading to the burbs again!
