Spike Lee, famed director and film maker is no fan of gentrification taking place in NYC. During a discussion that recently took place at Platt University, the renowned film maker spared no expletives sharing his view on what’s taking place in NYC, calling gentrification a “scam”. For those who don’t know what gentrification is, it’s when the demographic of a particular neighborhood/area is changed and redesigned to favor the wealthy, thus driving out the poor by increasing many things such as rents, home prices (values), etc.
