On this week's episode of Going In with Brian Vines, Brian visits 3 Brooklyn addresses where gentrification has made its mark. First, we head to an apartment building in Bed-Stuy where one tenant is on a mission to meet all those who lived there before her. A group of the building's tenants meet regularly to share their renter's rights and stay informed. Next stop: Bushwick, where a group of renters made of mostly immigrants are on a rent strike, as their neglectful landlord seems eager to muscle them out. Finally, we bike over to where Red Lantern bike repair once was in Fort Greene. We see how rent hikes have made it near impossible for small businesses to compete with big developers in gentrified neighborhoods.
