Harlem Gentrification is a Drag

The village voice, as usual, pontificates about Harlem NY gentrification. They say they attend a rooftop party at the Dwyer condo on West 125th Street. "The Dwyer does a first class job of accessing the the lay of its surroundings for killer views and light," Spotted are four Smart Cars (well, three and a Mini-Cooper) in the East Village of people having an out of body experience of being in Harlem.

Translation: That means they were in the East Village the whole time, and merely had an internet conference call with people in Harlem NY.

Down By The Hipster notices "The Bowery has become a powerhouse destination of its own... And the Times reports that in this decade New York has seen a net gain in white people for the first time since 1940.

Gentrification is expensive, and more white people have money, causing non-whites to move out. And no one is getting fat except Mama Cass.
