@modesto_flako_jimenez this is why projects like @taxilandia_ are important any body recognize this neighborhood? This the future #HARLEMRIVERYARDS complete with Soccer Stadium and everything and out of all these new apartments under 300 of them will be affordable housing. See when they burned the buildings in the 70's they never gave up the land. We were worth collecting something from than nothing but now our reward is to enter a housing lotto. The future looks bright for the Harlem River front from 133 something to 174th. What can I say my people. We have no power to stop it so get your self in the know and at least try to get you and yours in it. Stay on top of things subscribe to newyorkyimbi.com. The funny thing about this website is that I don't recall be ever asked about any of these developments happening in my neighborhood's backyard. I am Jose A. Esquea. I was born in Harlem NY in the last quarter of the 20th century. I have lived in BK. In Harlem. In Washington Heights and came of age in both the north and the South Bronx. And its is moments like these when you are faced with the inevitable hands of change under power beyond your own in the place that you called home that I most understand Chigachgook played in the film of the book by @RussellMeans when he looks at Hawkeye and says "I am the last of the Mohicans" #THEPOOR #THEGENTRY #NOTINMYBACKYARD #UNTILTHEYBUYYOURBACKYARD #ANDTHENYESINYOURBACKYARD (at South Bronx, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5qZfeJO53/?igshid=o8zjg8pwmxd
