00:00So this is my neighborhood.

00:05Generations have lived here.

00:07Everyone knows everyone.

00:12Our landlord does not want us in the building.

00:15New York City is driven by the real estate business.

00:19The rental market's extremely fierce and extremely competitive.

00:22The demand far outstrips supply.

00:24With the property values going up, the sharks come out.

00:29We've seen New York go from a working-class city to a playground for the elite.

00:33They want to push out the community.

00:35All of these luxury towers that billionaires are sitting on to grow their wealth.

00:40There's a limited amount of housing, and the system has to get those homes from somewhere.

00:48Above the toilet collapsed.

00:50My little brother has asthma.

01:38People that you push here are the ones that you come up to when you need a babysitter,

01:43when you want your laundry.

01:45Who do you come to?

01:46Us.

01:47Hi, we're coming around with a petition to oppose the luxury towers.

01:51Fight, fight, fight!

01:53Who rules New York?

01:55It's unconscionable that the government is paying these developers to destroy our communities.

02:01Not only have these thieves stolen our homes, not only have they stolen our equity, they

02:07have stolen our lives.
