The South Bronx is revitalizing, which is a far cry of what happened to Williamsburg, the posterchild of actual gentrification. The city only now is trying to backtrack and secure affordable/middle class housing in the area...but too little too late. The city, and the residents/community is on board with this project because it is FOR the locals, with affordable housing, parkland, waterfront access, commercial/retail space the major components, and not Million dollar luxury condos..see the difference? The revitalization that is occuring in the South Bronx is now being mimicked in city's across the country...as it is sustainable, green, healthy growth that is targeted towards the working/middle class.
