How can you compare the Essex St Market to a food co-op?

I can't imagine that it's the style of the vendor that determines whether they stay or go. It has to be just a matter of supply and demand. The neighborhood is changing and the demand is no longer for religious candles and cheap haircuts (both of which are still quite easy to find in the neighborhood). Don't get me wrong, it's not that I like the gentrification but to deny the reality of the changes in the neighborhood and to suggest that there is some type of conspiracy to uniformity undermines the significance of the real issue which is about rent control and real estate development, etc. etc. If you're seeking community and diversity, come see us at the 4th Street Food Co-op (between 2nd Ave. and Bowery). It's the best place in the world and way cooler than what the Essex Street Market has become.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
