Podcast- There Goes the Neighborhood: East New York: Did it Work

The speakers make a great job interviewing the neighborhoods in East New York. People were expressive of how they feel and who changes is impacting them. I think that when they were speaking, they get the community point of view to prove what they are saying is facts. They make sure that people understand what is going on in the neighborhood and how the changes are being visible to everyone. The question is what are they calling that we have a lot of affordable housing, there is no such thing as affordable housing. Overall, the speakers did a great job explaining himself as well as his ideas. His ideas were clear and illustrated with examples and with the involvement of the community that is being affected.
