This is a good article about what's happening in Bushwick in terms of gentrification. In other Bushwick news, there were three stabbings about five blocks from my house at 6 am this morning.

Holy Moly. After watching a documentary on gentrification last night called Flag Wars, I just saw your post and read this article in full. It is so depressing I don't even know where to begin. But it seems like, at least with all of these cases sited in the article, that the city should step in and force these nasty landlord folks to fix up these places, and pay the back taxes, repair fees, etc. But I suppose the city won't because it probably wants the gentrification to happen. What a massive massive bummer. Thanks for sharing this article though. I hope you are well. I've seen good pictures of us recently! xox
