Let's be clear, Melrose Ave. hasn't been cool since the TV series started all those decades ago. Rents immediately soared, tourists from far away descended like locusts and the cops, egged on by the locals dying of AIDS, started giving tickets to everyone to line city coffers. Almost overnight, kids couldn't afford it; which is how Fairfax had its short spot in the sun. Now, Cantor's Deli is barely hanging on even though they own their very dilapidated building which would've been condemned years ago if it wasn't so culturally important. Most of the buildings are in such poor condition, they're best suited for demolition and the area is well-suited for high-density low-income residential apartment blocks; something progressives want everywhere they don't live. I haven't specifically sought out the street since the 20th century. Also ignored, is the hard reality that LA has very few native white teenagers anymore, especially anywhere near that street and the locals who control the dirt there have zero interest in creating a zone popular among teenagers of color regardless of their liberal politics. Like many things in LA which were once great, its long entered the history books and will not be returning. No worries, the far western edges of Melrose near the Pacific Design Center are a plutocrats paradise if you're into Stella McCartney and other 5-figure designers per piece. Teenagers will not be allowed in by the very large security men of color carrying firearms stationed at every door. This is what "inclusion" looks like in LA these days. https://lnkd.in/gfc8pqhX

Some of my thoughts in this Washingtonian Magazine article on how to redevelop parts of #downtown #DC. https://lnkd.in/eS4GAyfi

I’ve lived on the Upper East Side for 30 years and it shows. Believe it or not, it used to be a playground for the young and hip… Back in the days before they knew what Brooklyn was. Now? My 26 year old nephew wouldn’t be caught hanging out here. It’s where old people (like me) live. But here’s the upside to being around the block this long: With all the young people seeking cooler neighborhoods, the price of the esteemed Upper East Side are now (believe it or not) more affordable - particularly East of 2nd Avenue.. Williamsburg and Brooklyn Heights bleed you dry these days. But here? It's a pleasantly surprising different story. This shift in affordability is starting to attract a whole new crowd. And so it goes with the ebb and flow of Manhattan’s neighborhoods. Don’t get me wrong, Fifth Ave and Park Ave are still as pricey as ever. But there's this other side… a side that's becoming more accessible and (dare I say) cool again. The 2nd Ave subway has completely transformed the avenue and attracted an incredible variety of new restaurants and clubs, including many for the younger set. Yes, you can go dancing on the upper east side. Who knew? So I’ve stuck around long enough to witness the rise, fall and rise again of the Upper East Side. Now who feels old? What other Manhattan neighborhoods are coming back around? #uppereastside #newyorkcity #manhattan
