@shilohinthecity: The west village girls article was disappointing and so are the takes. @freemanworks_ has the most enlightening respose that I've seen so far. #thewestvillage #westvillagegirls #thecut #gentrification
If this was meant to be a true expose on gentrification give us a day in the life of the guys who use sketch methods to take the property titles from elderly black/brown ppl throughout nyc

Also, why is it only “girls” as if men from the Midwest aren’t moving here at the same pace

Say that!! Scapegoating the customers isn’t it! It’s those who lobby, own and discriminate, and bait and switch during election season!

The West Village has been a playground for the well-off, Friends takes place there. It’s just more flooded with influencer culture now.

It’s so frustrating seeing so many comments about “make it unsafe for white ppl and transplants” ………they want us fighting w each other to keep us distracted and ppl fall for it every timeeeeee

& just last week a city board voted in favor of rent hikes up to 7.75% on rent stabilized apts… like why am I only seeing discourse abt the west village girls & nothing abt decisions like this

Moral blame should not be ascribed to young adults who move to certain neighborhoods due to broader economic trends at play

jess <3 :
people are calling it gentrification that the WV went from artsy rich white people to basic rich white people 😭😭 that’s not what gentrification means! WV has been white & wealthy way before tiktok, Taylor Swift lived there almost a decade ago!

People should take their anger and animosity they have for these white gentrifies and direct it at our elected politicians and officials for creating the conditions for this to happen in the first place. Gentrification and being priced out of your neighborhood doesn’t happen in a vacuum
