Good shit. Priced out of the NYC area as a kid to rural PA. I often think of what my life would've been like if my family was able to keep living in NYC.
This needs more views! As a 50+ year new yorker, I've settled in Tubby Hook. What?! What a ridiculous name! Oh wait, they got the 1 train here and the developers changed it to Inwood, Manhattan. Long time ago, but it was for the better.
The term "SpaHa" just spits in the face of the community that lives here currently, which is pretty apt, considering its a curruption of the history of this neighborhood and the people associated with the name Spanish Harlem for the sake of sanatizing its image for rich transplants. Im suprised they didn't go all out and try ElBa for El Barrio 💀
". . . boring tech bros or obnoxious financial people. . ." Brilliant!! That's some deadly accurate editing.
East Harlem born & raised. They tried it with “SpaHa,” but it didn’t stick.
More adventures coming soon!
I really hate how white people always get blamed for gentrification in New York City when it is actually Jewish people doing all the gentrification

Probably a lot cooler.
Great work. Agree, words matter and allowing profit-pursuing aholes to steer our culture is horrific. Like your take and style. Subscribed. Hugs.
I find it hard to believe that the place in New York called Soho wasn't inspired by the much more famous area of the same name in London
Interestingly, two different name origins! May have been inspired by the London one but that’s hard to prove definitively
There’s a Soho in London? Never heard of it before

I don't mind the name changes if it spures more investment in the community
Great vid super based
NYC slowly died in the 2010s. The digital commerce and rise of living and real estate prices.

morningside heights is fake, harlem forever
