Zoned Out! in the New York Times
On the city’s rezoning plans for Inwood, “Manhattan’s Last Affordable Neighborhood”.
“Little did they expect the fight back, which has been incredibly vocal and active in all of the neighborhood,” said Tom Angotti, a professor emeritus of urban planning at Hunter College who wrote the 2016 book “Zoned Out! Race, Displacement, and City Planning in New York City.”
“In Inwood, it’s specifically the Dominican population that is going to be the most vulnerable,” Mr. Angotti said.
On Sunday, the Northern Manhattan Is Not For Sale coalition, which includes local residents and community groups like Centro Altagracio de Fe y Justicia as well as citywide organizations like the Metropolitan Council on Housing and Faith In New York, held a public forum to discuss the city's current rezoning plan for Inwood.
