A civil rights leader is calling for the resignation of Gustavo Gordillo, the co-leader of New York City’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America – saying his series of scandals proves the DSA now stands for the “Double Standards of America.”
This is using weasel numbers for the perspective and value of the home. The house is just the white building pictured in the drone picture from above.
It is worth noting that the cots of living in NYC vastly outpaces most of the rest of the United States. If Mark Zuckerburg can have a $300,000,000 fun boat then it seems pretty shitty to try and burn down an entire movement over a $1,500,000 house. Why doesn’t this article reference anyone else’s housing prices or give a comparison? 1 citizen owns a boat that is worth 200 houses at this same value (A price I’m supposed to lose my mind over and denote it as inequality) The tone of this article also borders on hateful in word choice and objectivity. Seems really weird to mention white people encroaching in an historic black area as well. Silicon Valley has had no issue since before the 1990’s doing that to Oakland
Also worth noting that a good amount of the Women’s Sufferage leaders also came from a wealthy background. It doesn’t mean they weren’t fighting for a greater cause.
