A Successful talk about renters rights in the wake of Gentrification

September 17, 2022


Before the event (I’ll post a better photo later)

Last night’s talk about Gentrification was better than I’d hoped. The organizer of the meeting Neta Alexander screened two films “Rent Freeze” which documented the struggle to install a five year rent rate freeze for all stabilized and rent controlled apartments in New York City. And “A Snowboarding Day in Brooklyn” by Jason Scott Jones, which captured a moment of bless ruined by the inequity certain New Yorkers often face.

The event was well attended with an active audience and four guest speakers Donna Rachel and the filmmakers. Topics of renters rights were heavily discussed. I met great people and came away more optimistic and with specific ideas on what we can all do to increase the sustainability of longstanding communities while uniting with new comers to the neighborhood to make Crown Heights in particular and the once neglected neighborhoods of New York city as a whole, vibrant functioning places again.

I’ll post more about the discussion event, and some inspired thoughts that came out of it, and hopefully some new ongoing reporting that may be featured on this blog.
