Why so? High income earners bring jobs and opportunities. Don’t fall for the divisive garbage rhetoric that you have to hate other American because they have more money than you. Those high earners pay taxes. They help fund the schools. What mare should they do??? No one making 150k/ yr is a trust fund baby. Husband and wife making 75 grand each is more like it.

People are getting displaced; have the city build more public housing. Why can’t the city do that instead of continuously pitting neighbors against each other?

Illegals are welcome here but young families making 100k / year are not? What an upside down world we are living in🤡

There are a number of families moving to Forest Hill from Brooklyn (I personally know of two from Park Slope), and I wouldn't be surprised to see people getting priced out of Maplewood/Montclair/South Orange and doing the same thing.

These folks are buying homes in the historic district and sending their kids to private school.
