Everything has the ability to be gentrified it just depends on if city hall thinks that all the new voters will keep voting the same administration in if so they will go along with the kicking of the current residents out and giving tax breaks to developers . If not there will be an anti gentrification movement among the politicians

I mean I've been working near Penn station for a good 17 years So that might have just been her spot when I finally saw her. It really is a travesty that she was out there for as long as he said. I feel like there's now an invested urgency to get rid of the homeless around newark penn because of the luxury apartments by the city.

She appeared around 2019 and was there from 2020 up until last week even when they started clearing out the homeless encampments after the pandemic was over they let her stay on that corner. Rain snow heat. She was there with her blanket on herself. I don't think I ever saw her actually walk

At the end of the day if somebody can't make money they have no incentive. It's the American way my thing if people really want to improve life, you bus all these homeless people and drop them off in the rich neighborhoods and the country clubs. Like George Carlin said there is no Illuminati. There is no mass conspiracy group controlling the world. They all go to the same country clubs the same universities. They know what's good for them they don't need a meeting to make it happen

The problem is the politicians give into the activists demands that penalties be done away with before lining up the rest of what will replace it first. What really needed to happen is You put in place shelters and drug rehabilitation and then you removed the penalties but don't do away with them entirely. What you do is you say here are the services If you as a homeless or a drug addict refuse to take them then we have to deal with you under the old laws. Because at that point you don't want help you just like being a public nuisance

This is an old picture I posted just so people would know who I was talking about. When I was walking to work this morning it was all gone except for a few items that were cleaned up later in the afternoon
