Local crack den gentrified into crack palace
A local crack den has been gentrified into a crack palace, and residents are not happy about it.The crack den, which was once a place for drug addicts to get their fix, has been transformed into a luxurious palace, complete with chandeliers, marble floors and a swimming pool.Residents say the new crack palace is a far cry from the drug den it used to be, and they fear it will attract a more affluent clientele that will drive up prices and push out the locals.”This is just another example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting pushed out,” one resident told reporters. “It’s not fair.”The owner of the crack palace, who wished to remain anonymous, said he was just trying to provide a service that the community needs.”There’s a demand for this kind of thing, and I’m just trying to meet it,” he said. “If the locals can’t afford it, that’s their problem.”He added that he plans to add more amenities to the crack palace, including a spa and a nightclub.
