      <![CDATA[What a god damned terrible example. When I moved to Park Slope 6 years ago, I lived in this general area and wanted to rent movies... only to be told that I needed to bring the video store owners utility bills, paystubs, and at one place, put $300 on hold in my checking account to rent from them "just in case."

      <![CDATA[I live in the North Slope and this is the most generalizing, ridiculous thing I've read in a long time. One video store closes and one old bar decides to renovate, and suddenly the whole neighborhood is headed down the toilet?<br>
<br>
I know a ton of people that live on my block, and there's a good mix of both young couples who don't have much money (lots of brownstones are still basically rooming houses), blacks, Latinos, and some young families in the mix, along with older boomers who've been there for a while.

      <![CDATA[@ArtiePhilie no, and we're not supposed to feel bad for the video store either. The point was that something larger, and perhaps more interesting than the mere closing of a video store (like neighborhood transformation/second wave gentrification) might be at play.

      <![CDATA[This is possibly the stupidest article I have read in weeks. Should we feel bad for all those stores 100+ years ago who made wheels for horse carriages but went out of business when the "tasteless rich" began using automobiles en masse?
