because anything above 96th is spanish harlem as far as i'm concerned if you telling me there's some affordable spots below that LET A SISTER KNOW lol
i worked on the UWS for 7 years. i love it. definitely different from what it was. less domincans for sure but the community board and the neighborhood is comprised of some pretty die hard activists (including my old boss) so they've worked a little harder to preserve housing and people. they also have more unique stock up there. a lot of SROs. a lot were lost but a lot are still there and make great supportive housing
at one point (and possibly may still be), the UWS had the highest concentration of supportive housing. it was actually great to see how welcoming they were of it (in comparison). im sure some people hate/d it but you honestly wouldn't know. my old org has a lot of projects up there
