Yeah- I was hoping to see an article that discussed how the financial crisis made building rentals more profitable than condos and how that effects neighborhoods, but this... this was just word vomit.

FWIW- I have long lamented that pretty much all the new buildings aside from 99 hudson have been rentals downtown. I lived in Paulus Hook for a long time, and it was almost frustrating meeting someone cool at the dog park- you knew this was their stop on the way to the burbs in 1-2 years. HP is much better in this regard, its an actual neighborhood. You also see people wearing JC or local spots t-shirts often, when I lived in PH, it was extremely rare.
