Humans heart and soul belongs to that only and unique special place where, there is an explainable confidence and satisfaction for no reason. Some of this place one could think of, might be a special place that one once visited, a place that remind you of a loved one but, one that we all have in common is the neighborhood where we grew or that we remember the most from childhood. Indeed a neighborhood is the only place that shapes humans way of living and thinking. But, what happens when a neighborhood changes to a such degree that it does not feel it as that place you can identify with. Zoning(Land Zoning) is a 20th century worrying phenomenon that has been causing this changes all around the globe but, an interesting place to look at is to the City of New York as a whole. Zoning is defines as a legal instrument managed by The Department of City Planing to regulate the use of the land. In addition although this is a very long and arduous process, is this law making citizens life fade away through time;sure it is. Usually investors take a big role in this game since, they are the ones that put in the money and propose future projects in the designated areas. As seen in New York, places that before where industrial factories are now brand new-luxurious buildings, beautiful right. Now, ask yourself the question, what middle class person is willing or have the income to pay the rent in any of those luxurious apartments, none right. Zoning is really devastating New York middle class. This phenomenon is making people displace and give up all that have been cultivating for years just because a very absurd investor decides to tear down a whole neighborhood and gets it approved. Although on June 2016 there is a 8.2 billion plan to build affordable housing for low income and try to slow down zoning but, will these 8.2 billion plan build enough for everyone?; highly doubt it. Day after day New York is becoming more and more expensive, resulting in those people who cannot afford it, looking for new horizons. More worrying is the fact that a minimum wage job won’t be able to cover all needs not far in the future. We are all trapped in the hand of developers whose only and main goal profit.  New York real meaning is fading away; it is not the place for everyone but, what defines you, is the money in your pocket.
