Uh…  I don’t understand the point of this article.  The situation is simple really.  People who can afford to pay higher rents are moving into Harlem, gradually remaking it to their own liking, and many of the people who have lived there for a while, who are the connection to the “culture” that made Harlem famous in the first place, are being priced out, and the culture is gradually going away with them.  The article made it seem like all people want to do is engage in discussion.  I don’t see what the point of talking is really.  That’s not going to stop gentrification, but it might make gentrifiers feel less threatened.
