Abstract
Housing policy officials’ interest in alleviating displacement faces scrutiny for the effective implementation of housing programs and diversifying neighborhoods. While officials deliberate diversifying neighborhoods; residents focus on affordable housing, remaining in gentrifying neighborhoods and fair relocation plans. Displacement, as an outcome of gentrification, has long history in the United States. New York developer, Robert Moses, renowned for his contributions to the infrastructure of New York was coined the “Great Builder.” When recognizing Robert Moses’s legacy of revitalization, literature dually records the disparaging impact that his revitalization plan had on low-income minorities, displacing 250,000 people over four decades.
