This is interesting. Notice who was impacted:
Local legend has it that as soon as Clinton acquired his fourteenth-floor office space, the Secret Service closed down a notorious neighboring crack house, immediately boosting real-estate values.

The complaint is he has improved the area and raised property values?Hey Bill, you're welcome to move to my neighborhood if they don't want you in Harlem anymore.

So nobody was helped by this? You'd think everybody was hurt by this. Rising property values? An economic resurgence? What kind of Bizarro World is this, that bringing prosperity to a place is a bad thing? How many black landlords and property holders are retiring on their profits from this? The liberal white guilt oozing out of this story is nauseating.

Forty? As in 4-0? A protest in NYC with 40 people? More than 40 people are probably standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change in front of his office right now. Street buskers draw bigger crowds.

The complaint is he has improved the area and raised property values? Pretty much. We went through the same thing in downtown Austin when property values went up. Lots of people complained because they couldn't afford to live there anymore. You could sell a 2br 1ba shack for $300~$400K on Rainey Street, (kind of a little pocket neighborhood from downtown, the kind where you're not surprised to find shoes hanging over the street on a power line), and the residents were having protests because they didn't want to sell and move, but feared the rising taxes and traffic.

The Clinton's were in the usual damage control mode.
Soo playing the race card was their easy out option at the time.

Harlem residents gathered outside President Clinton's office yesterday to protest against the former president as a symbol of Harlem's gentrification and the displacement of its residents. ... [snip] ... It's a bit more than ironic that Clinton would get the blame, after the reams of fawning press he garnered for his move to Harlem and the interminable PR of how much the African-American community loved him. Apparently, Harlem residents would love Bill Clinton to go to the Upper West Side for a while."
Having his fawners and worshippers tired of him and wanting him to move elsewhere? Priceless!!!!!!!!

"gentrification of Harlem?"
The residents should be so lucky. I was there a couple of weeks ago and marvelled at the numbers of burnt out buildings in this sky high Manhattan RE market.

"Gentrification" means "plantation owners" I guess.

I'm sure he wanted the offices down there to keep his wife at a distance, y'know, for the sake of the par-tay.

Snicker! Heeheehee! Either that or Queen Jezebel wanted him to have his office down there so she could have her own par-tays with out him getting in the way....if you get my drift (wink, wink, nudge, nudge!)
