Changes in East Harlem

[East Harlem Preservation]

What do you think about the changes in the neighborhood? Good or bad?

[Zoila Arbelaez]

Change is good. There is a need to improve the situation in East Harlem. To clean up the streets and to curb crime for the children and families of the area. We need and deserve clean safe streets. This is New York City, the greatest city in the world. Everyone has a right to be here, rich, poor, and those in the middle without being threatened or intimidated to walk down the streets no matter what color their skin is. With the influx of new condominiums and businesses to the area there are more jobs, more police presence and a better life for all.
