Gentrification

Many people may not be familiar with the ideology of “weed and seed”. Weed and seed is a program that town-officials and corporate interests use to weed-out low income residents and then seed-in wealthier high income residents. The result of this tends to be the forced relocation of minority communities through economic starvation, crippled infrastructure and more often than not physical violence. Unfortunately, for thousands of residents, this ideology is currently being unleashed on the Village of Hempstead.
