So I'm in New York.

[NoJo]

Harlem is fascinating.

Yes, you can see from the nice buildings in the tree-lined streets that it used to be upmarket. In London, those sort of places have become gentrified, because real estate is so expensive. Same in NY; the friend of mine who lives there, in a low-rent, clean, but slightly decrepit apartment block, told me that some houses there are going for $1,000,000. This was West Harlem. East Harlem is still pretty rough.

Where do poor people go when neighborhoods become gentrified? Do they start new poor neighborhoods?

*BUMP*

The 747 lands with a bump in Heathrow, and I take the Underground home where I'm confronted with a massive tax bill.

I miss New York. Smelly old London. Boo to Real Life. And especially Boo to having to work for a living.

At least it's good to be somewhere they spell "colour" correctly again.

Don't mind me, I've got jet lag. Boo to jet lag.
