FREE THE CITY
Funny People

From the page:
There is an article in the New York Times about the McKibben Lofts in Bushwick or "East Williamsburg" that is pretty funny. This is an area of New York City that is getting more condensed poverty because of the neo-liberal reforms. To add to this situation, these wide eyed "artists" think they are "helping" the community by talking about starting art programs. You know what? Poor people living in projects not want your art. You know what they want? Food, security, some money and for your stupid band to stop playing. And for the record, patronizing local businesses DOES NOT somehow counteract gentrification. ....
