It seems an unlikely location for conflict and strife, yet this eighteen-block area, initially planned as middle-class affordable housing, is the site of an ongoing struggle between long-term, rent-regulated residents, younger, market-rate tenants, and new owners seeking to turn this community into a luxury commodity. 'Priced Out' takes readers into this heated battle as a transitioning neighborhood wrestles with contemporary capitalist strategies and the struggle to preserve renters' rights Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Housing -- New York (State) -- New York -- Case studies Rent control -- New York (State) -- New York -- Case studies Mixed-income housing -- New York (State) -- New York -- Case studies Housing development -- New York (State) -- New York -- Case studies Neighborhoods -- New York (State) -- New York -- Case studies Middle class -- New York (State) -- New York -- Case studies POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Public Policy -- City Planning & Urban Development.
