- Changes they have witnessed in their neighborhood / Chanjmanyo te temwen nan katye yo: “I never thought this neighborhood would change so fast. I live in Prospect Heights, another neighborhood that used to have a lot of Haitians. Now you can find two or three Haitians. There used to be a lot of Haitians in near Eastern Parkway, Prospect PArk, Prospect Place, all those areas. It was only Haitians living in those areas. In those areas it’s called gentrification and other people have come to live there and the rents in those areas are seriously high. I was watching a TV program about Prospect Park West, for a three bedroom they are asking $5,000 a month. What type of job does someone have to have to pay $5,000 a month.”
