Clinton doesn't care about these folks ... he will only give them a lot of BS and then go on ignoring them and their problems

Correct me iffin' I'm wrong but it occurs to my puir female brain that if the landlord is already purchasing the property an increase in the value of the property only changes the tax bill and not the mortgage. Right? Other than that, this is funny.

his decision to lease offices in the area would spark an economic resurgence.

In antibiotics if nothing else.

"We're hoping to have a dialogue with a president of enormous influence," Ms. Bailey said, "so he can understand the concerns of Harlem tenants" ...

Oh, please. He doesn't care about you. It's all about him.

Hey, what goes around, comes around. Lenox Hill and that area used to be nice neighborhoods. Nobody was picketing when they were run into the ground and became ghettos.

The Harlem Tenants Council hosted the protest at 125th Street between Lenox and Park avenues that was attended by about 40 mostly elderly...

LOL! I had to stop and do a doubt take. Forty? As in 4-0? A protest in NYC with 40 people? Correction. That's (quote) "about" (unquote) 40 people. Oh good grief!

The community turned out in droves to welcome the man that some called "the first black President," declaring that his decision to lease offices in the area would spark an economic resurgence. His decision and the $354,000 lease created headlines for weeks.

Today, that decision has created different headlines. His formerly enthusiastic neighbors now blame him for the increasing gentrification of Harlem, raising rents and displacing the disadvantaged:

Wow! The Law of Intended Consequences

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.

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.
