Can someone archive these documents?
This is an issue I have with any 'ethnic' hoods- that it's been determined in the last 30-40 years that they should stay that way forever. As such, any decline is decried as 'systematic racism', while any re-upscaling is simply declared 'gentrification'.
Did no one remember that the Bronx was largely built for and inhabited by the Jewish and Italians before the 50s? Same with Harlem- yet it now must be protected forever as an 'ethnic' neighborhood. It's something that's seriously affected the way cities are being planned now, which is why you have to have dozens of community meetings just to build anything.
