Pretty disappointed that the Times' coverage of I-81 spends most of its time on the gentrification angle rather than on the actual dominant factor, the exercise of privilege, money, and power by predatory suburbanites.
nytimes.com/2023/06/03/nyr… It's an open not-exactly-secret that a lot of the gentrification concern is wokewashing/trolling being paid for by the suburbanite concerns. Some is real, but news media coverage should attempt to differentiate.
