Residents in Manhattan’s Chinatown Fight for Their Homes
Manhattan Chinatown has been fighting gentrification for generations. Today, four looming luxury “mega towers” may be the historic neighborhood's biggest threat. Here, the landlord ignores requests for basic maintenance from long-term tenants, but he sends crews to the building to fully renovate the vacant apartments right across the hall. These new “luxury” apartments rent for thousands a month.
