(New York, New York) – A playground on the Upper West Side of Manhattan is the scene of a nasty battle as ‘posh’ private school students are playing at a newly-renovated park that was built for kids living in a former New York City Housing Authority complex.
Housing Authority residents say the kids are coming to their park, and making them feel like they’re the ones who are visiting. They say the ‘rich kids’ disrespect them, and the park. The residents put up signs saying “You Do Not Live Here Do Not Enter No Exceptions”. The city says that they have all the right to keep the park to themselves since it doesn’t receive their funding. The city then put up signs saying, “For Wise Towers Residents Only”.
Neighbors are coming out saying they believe the park should be open to all, as it brings the community together. School kids in the area even wrote letters to the Tenants Association of the Towers begging them to be allowed to come back the park.
