This is the most enraging part of the article. The people who administer this program spent time and money to make it more accessible to the poor, and they're still vilified as gentrifiers. Will they bother to do that next time? Isn't the lesson here, "don't bother to sit down and listen to the activists and incorporate their feedback, it won't help"?
