Is a robocop so difficult to imagine?


Thank you!


u right


That may be true, however the correlation is that the value of homes increased after the Starbucks arrived in the neighborhood. Of course there are other factors involved.


The point is that small businesses won't be able to thrive under the conditions of having high rent. If corporations are the only businesses that can afford it, then there's not much uniqueness to NYC businesses. It's not about wanting the city to stay the same. Transience is a natural quality of life, but it is being controlled in a way that gives corporations the upper hand.


"The real essence of any city lies within the community. The physical landscape is given meaning by those who fill its doors and spaces."

Culture is defined by the community, who is pushed out when the rent is too damn high.
