It seems an unlikely location for conflict and strife, yet this eighteen-block area, initially planned as middle-class affordable housing, is the site of an ongoing struggle between long-term, rent-regulated residents, younger, market-rate tenants, and new owners seeking to turn this community into a luxury commodity. 'Priced Out' takes readers into this heated battle as a transitioning neighborhood wrestles with contemporary capitalist strategies and the struggle to preserve renters' rights.Middle classNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesNeighborhoodsNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesHousing developmentNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesMixed-income housingNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesRent controlNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesHousingNew York (State)New YorkCase studiesMiddle classNeighborhoodsHousing developmentMixed-income housingRent controlHousing307.3/36097471Woldoff Rachael A.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1471582Glass Michael R.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMorrison Lisa M.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910797901603321Priced Out3683935UNINA
