Summary:  An unflinching chronicle of gentrification in the twenty-first century, and a love letter to lost New York, by the creator of the popular and incendiary blog Vanishing New York. For generations, New York City has been a mecca for artists, writers, and other hopefuls longing to be part of its rich cultural exchange and unique social fabric. But today, modern gentrification is transforming the city from an exceptional, iconoclastic metropolis into a suburbanized luxury zone with a price tag only the one percent can afford. Jeremiah Moss is the pen name of Griffin Hansbury. His writing on the city has appeared in the New York Times and online for The New Yorker. As Hansbury, he is the author of The Nostalgist, a novel, and works as a psychoanalyst in New York City.
