My wife and I recently bought a Condo in West Harlem, which we love, after renting a place a few blocks away for around a year and a half for reconnaissance purposes. I would be interested in participating in a candid blog discussion about what folks can do to help revitalize Harlem in a way that is a win-win situation both for new residents and those who were here before us. It seems that one of the tensions, among many — including racism — is that new residents, who needless to say tend to have more disposable income, want more of the amenities that are available in other parts of Manhattan while others oppose such amenities insofar as they raise their cost of living (including affordable housing). Thoughts?
