In the wake of Spike Lee's absolutely bonkers gentrification rant, Jeremiah Moss over at Vanishing New York offers a very detailed, very lengthy take on the history of the city's climb from affordable to not and its multifarious stages and phases. Meanwhile, Spike himself chats with Daily Intel, in which he comments (calmly): "I just fear that New York City is going to lose its heart and soul because if you're not a millionaire you're not going to be able to live here" while adding in the same breath that his $32M UES home is stuffed with rare art.
