Alessandro Busà,the founder and editor-in-chief of "The Urban Reinventors" Online Journal of Urban Studies, joins us to discuss his book, and The Creative Destruction of unusual York City: Engineering the City for the Elite. He looks at how unusual York has developed over the past 15 years under the Bloomberg and de Blasio administrations into a city that only the wealthy can afford. He argues that NYC has become a place where even the professional middle lesson faces being priced out of their neighborhoods.
