Comment by Professor Taylor: “An apartment that cost $900 a month for either a one or two bedroom apartment is not affordable for most Blacks, Latinx, and immigrants.  You need to make around $40,000 a year for such an apartment to be affordable, and 56% of Black Buffalo earn less than that.  The share of Latinx and immigrants making less than $40,000 is even greater.  This move is an intensification of the gentrification of Broadway-Fillmore. Call a spade a spade.”
