The film is a powerful and moving portrait of a city in transition.
It shows how gentrification can destroy communities, displace people from their homes, and make it difficult for ordinary people to afford to live in the city.
The film features interviews with residents of Queens and the Lower East Side, two neighborhoods that have been hit hard by gentrification.
The residents share their stories of how they have been forced to move out of their homes due to rising rents and property taxes.
They also talk about the impact that gentrification has had on their communities, which have lost their unique character and sense of place.
There Goes the Neighborhood also explores the role of corporate greed and government policy in gentrification.
The film shows how developers and politicians have worked together to create a system that favors wealthy investors at the expense of ordinary people.

Synopsis
Gentrification is not a new phenomenon.
In fact, New Yorkers have been talking about gentrification ever since the term was first coined in the 1960s.
But over the decades, as more and more wealthy real estate developers and giant corporations have sought to reconstruct urban landscapes for economic gain, what was once a process of gradual change has turned into a nightmare of radical transformation and displacement.
New York City is currently undergoing a period of “hyper-gentrification” unlike anywhere else in the world, and THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD, presents a portrait of the communities and activists who are courageously fighting back against the powers of greed and corruption in order to preserve the diversity and culture of their city.
