City Must Use .NYC to Create a Real Civic Commons

By Thomas Lowenhaupt | September 14, 2015

Housing and Homelessness

Displaced, Dispersed, Disappeared: What Happens to Families Forced Out of Bushwick?

By Neil deMause | May 6, 2015

Everyone knows higher rents have forced many families out of their apartments in rapidly gentrifying Bushwick. But no one has bothered to count them or figure out where they went.

THE JOB BOARD

City Limits uses investigative journalism through the prism of New York City to identify urban problems, examine their causes, explore solutions, and equip communities to take action.

Founded in 1976 in the midst of New York’s fiscal crisis, City Limits exists to inform democracy and equip citizens to create a more just city. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by foundation support, ad sponsorship and donations from readers.
