Scourge Bliss 👾

This summer I went around NYC visiting Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) where staff allegedly had a problem with the PUBLIC using them. 😭 Mind you, these spaces are legally required to be open to the public. So naturally, I had to see for myself. 😏

They rezoned the area around Barclays Center, promised affordable housing, failed to deliver it on schedule, and faced no penalties for the delays. Meanwhile, Brooklyn got more luxury apartments, rising rents, and displacement.

THROWBACK 🗽: Did you know NYC has privately owned public spaces (POPS) that are legally required to be open to the public? I went to 780 Third Avenue in Manhattan after learning that people were allegedly being prevented from sitting in a space meant for public use.

Imagine a building being made in 2009 and having over 1000 open violations… SHAME

Part 2 from my video I made about Chelsea/Elliot houses

NYC is planning to demolish Chelsea Houses, a public housing development in one of Manhattan’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Revitalization or gentrification? You decide.

Imagine your family owning a brownstone in Harlem for generations, only to find out that someone allegedly stole your property through fraudulent paperwork. This is the dark side of NYC real estate that nobody talks about.

NYC banned traditional “poor doors” in 2015. But the stories of the ones that exist today and how they were developed are insane.

It’s increasingly disturbing how many of these streamers and content creators get away with monetizing off the homeless

I genuinely thought I was tweaking

😏dis me btw

What timeline am I in 💀
