Summary
| Description |
Lower East Side used to be the most densely populated area in the world, hosting a large working-class immigrant community. From the 1870s through the 1930s, many people began their American Dreams in this neighborhood. But as immigration slowed and social policies changed, especially with the suburban explosion of the 1950s and beyond, this area fell derelict. In recent years, however, young urban professionals looking for affordable housing and conveniences of city life have revitalized and gentrified the area. I am loving the architecture of the building in the background, one of the new buildings built in the current era of gentrification. Through the late 1980s, merely visiting this area after dark was unthinkable, but mercifully that era is now history. |
