To get there from city tech, you will have to have to take the R train at Jay Street- Metrotech station to Dekalb Avenue or Atlantic Avenue.

Homework Due 10/24

One article that supports my project is “Here, Poverty and Privilege Are Neighbors; Income Gaps Are a Source Of Resentment and Guilt BY Janny Scott. In the article, Jenny Scott states “The city  is etched with boundaries and borderlands that appear on no maps, areas where income groups intersect, overlap, collide, coexist– along lines drawn and redrawn by quirks on history, differences in housing stock, patterns of immigration and the economy’s perpetual rise and fall.” I agree with this statement because I feel like when people look at a city on a physical map or even digital map, they don’t … Read More...
