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.
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.
