Inkoliseko eDowntown eBrooklyn isekhona. INew York inokuba yayisisixeko sabazizityebi kakhulu nabona bahlwempuzekileyo, kodwa amahlwempu, kakhulu kwaye ngenye indlela, sele efumene indawo yokuhlala yaseNew York indawo engathethekiyo yokufika kade. Njenge Inew York Thumela uxelwe namhlanje , uninzi lwabasebenzi bakamasipala abangama-300 abanamakhaya, ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sabantu baseNew York bathwele umthwalo (behlawula ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-30 zengeniso yabo kwirente) kwaye abantu besi sixeko abangenamakhaya bayaqhubeka besanda. Akunjalo nakwiivenkile ezithengisa izinto ezinobuncwane.
Inkqubo ye- ukuvalwa kweGreenpoint's Salvation Army Kwiveki ephelileyo kuphawulwe inyathelo lakutshanje lokurhoxa ngokungenzi nzuzo ukusuka eBrooklyn kumda ohlekisayo-isicwangciso esongeze ekubeni sisibonelelo sokuthengisa izindlu nomhlaba (ithengise ivenkile yayo yaseWilliamsburg kunyaka ophelileyo ngezigidi ezingama-36.1 zeedola) -ngokuba ngewayazi okanye ayithethi kakhulu malunga Ukungeniswa kwemali engenzi nzuzo kwidolophu, nakwisixeko, ukutshintsha kwenani labantu.
Njengoko Crain’s kuphawulwe kwibali labo malunga nokuvalwa kwevenkile, yayiyivenkile yokugqibela yaseSalvation Army yaseNyakatho yeBrooklyn; ikhonkco lokugcina ikwanjalo ethengisa isakhiwo sayo esikhulu seClinton Hill kunye neziko lokuhlenga, ekuxelwe ukuba likwisivumelwano sezigidi ezingama-30 zeerandi kule ntwasahlobo (ii-condos ziqikelelwe). Endaweni yayo, ivenkile encinci yoMkhosi woSindiso yavula iSitalato iFulton eBed-Stuy.
Ivenkile ekufutshane yeGoodwill ngakwisitishi sikaloliwe iFranklin Avenue C nayo ivaliwe ngeli hlobo-umninindlu uBawabeh Brothers izicwangciso zokwakha isakhiwo esitsha esinemigangatho emihlanu esinesikolo somnqophiso, iiofisi zentengiso kunye nezonyango-ifomula awayeyilandela ngaphambili kunye nezinye iipropathi ecaleni kwempahla yokuthengisa. Njengoko UBrownstoner kuqatshelwe, incwadana yentengiso yayiqhayisa ngenguquko yommelwane: Ubumelwane bommandla ayinakuphepheka kwaye ihamba ngokukhawuleza.
Iivenkile ezithengisayo, kubonakala ngathi, nazo zithathe isigqibo sokuyiphatha i-gentrification njengesiphelo esichazwe kwangaphambili.
Kwimimandla ebiza kakhulu apho uGoodwill kunye noMkhosi woSindiso bahlala khona, baye bafikelela kwii-boutique eziphezulu kwimodeli yezeZindlu, apho ukuphumelela kuthelekiswa kunokufunyanwa kuzingelwa i-designer-offs engaphaya kwe-100 leedola. Kwiveki ephelileyo, uGoodwill uvule i-boutique ye-Union Square boutique engama-4,800 enemigangatho eqinileyo kunye nezibane ezikhanyayo, Crain’s ixelwe —Yesine eManhattan. (Umkhosi woSindiso waseGreenpoint ukhe wazama notshintsho oluya phezulu, eshiya ibhidi emva kwezikhukula nomlilo.)
Amaketanga eevenkile ezithengisayo ngoku azama ukwenza imali kwi-shabby-chic yabo ngokwamkela ukubonakala okuphezulu. Batyale imali ekudaleni amava asondeleyo, aphezulu ekuthengeni izinto ezithengiswa ngesandla zitsalela abathengi abancinci abangasenalo ixesha lokhula ngemigqomo, liphawule iphepha.
I-Frugality ayisathethi ukuhlawula i-10 yeedola ngengubo yasebusika, kodwa ukufumana uyilo olusetyenzisiweyo ngobunono yi- $ 150.
Ewe, iSalvation Army kunye neeVenkile ezilungileyo, ekukhutsheni imali okanye ekubuyiseleni kwirhafu enyukayo, zilandela ekhondweni lezinye izinto ezingenzi nzuzo zaseNew York, eziye zafumanisa ukuba ziluncedo ngokwasemalini kwimishini yazo, okanye ziyimfuneko kwezemali ukuze ziyeke ukufikelela nakwezona ndawo zikude yesixeko. Ukufuduka kwenza uhlobo lwengqondo ekhuni, kuba ezo ndawo zikwakhona apho abathengi babo banokufumaneka ngakumbi.
Njengomongameli weHell's Kitchen engenakhaya kuW. 49th Street eyavalwa ngoJuni uxelelwe Crain’s , ayisiyiyo kuphela iintsapho ezingenamakhaya ezihambela apho zisiya kude kwaye zisiya kude, kodwa babengenakukwazi nokwenza imisebenzi yabo yemihla ngemihla ekuhlaleni kwakhona: Elo khaya lixhoba le-gentrification. I-Hell’s Kitchen itshintshe kakhulu. Abahlali abakwazi ukuhlamba iimpahla, bathenge ukutya. Abakwazi ukusebenza kule ndawo kwakhona.
Kodwa lo gama iSalvation Army neGoodwill zinemishini edlula ukuthengisa izinto ezingamasekeni — uGoodwill, umzekelo, ugxile kakhulu kuqeqesho lomsebenzi (nangona yayigxekwa kakhulu kulo nyaka uphelileyo ngokuhlawula iipeni zabasebenzi abakhubazekileyo kwidola) -enye yeendima zabo eziluncedo kuluhlu olubanzi lwabantu abanengeniso ephantsi kunye naphakathi njengomthengisi wexabiso eliphantsi, izinto ezingamasekeni.
Ukugxila kwii-boutique ezibiza kakhulu kwiikona ezixineneyo zesixeko, okanye ukushiya ngokupheleleyo, iivenkile ezithengisa izinto ezithengisayo zenza ukungabikho kwabo bahlala, abo isandla sabo sesibini singathethi ukuvuna okanye ukuthunyelwa, kodwa kufikeleleka ngokufikelelekayo. Ukulahla into ekumhlaba ongafumanekiyo okanye ukuthengisa abathengi abatyebileyo kunokuba yinto elungileyo yokuziqhelanisa neshishini, kodwa xa uGoodwills kunye noSalvation Armys bekhuphuka, oko kugxininisa umyalezo wokuba abantu abasezantsi, nangona bekwazile ukufumana indawo yolunye uhlobo isixeko, asiyiyo eyakhe, kwaye ukuhlala kwabo ngumcimbi wexesha kuphela.
