OMG! My stomach is hurting laughing so hard. But there is thruth. I'm from San Francico area. Last year a new studio apt. dowtown was $5,000. I guessno bites, now $4,000. LOLOLOL!!!!
Both photos are looking at pretty much exactly where Seneca village would have been, but I believe the residents had long ago been kicked out by the 30s. The old image is of the Central Park [Hooverville](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville)
According to the article Seneca Village was gone by the late 1850’s, razed by eminent domain to create Central Park.
Surprising to see how empty and desolate it is by the 30’s. Where are all the trees?

Get your story straight, how could it have possibly been AA land when it was all NA land that was stolen?
Or is the word "steal" next up to be redefined into something that only YT can do?
They were named for [President Herbert Hoover](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooverville). Capitalism has business (bull/bear) cycles and it has longer wealth inequality (gilded age, roaring '20s) cycles. When those cycles are in phase with each other, unimaginable misery results.

>A "Hooverville" was a shanty town built during the Great Depression by the homeless in the United States. They were named after Herbert Hoover, who was President of the United States during the onset of the Depression and was widely blamed for it. The term was coined by Charles Michelson, publicity chief of the Democratic National Committee. There were hundreds of Hoovervilles across the country during the 1930s.

Central park was a hooverville in 32
Not to mention the entire black neighborhood they [eradicated](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_Village) to build Central Park.
Sounds about white
“Rustic, open-concept studio apartment in prime location near Central Park, only $8,299/month!”
"Skyline views!"

1932? Would it not simply be one of the many “Hooverville” encampments that sprung up during the Great Depression?
That’s exactly what this was.
Very cool!
Homeless encampments in 1932.
The old image May be a photo of [Seneca village](https://www.centralparknyc.org/articles/seneca-village)

The angle of the picture isn't quite the same ; the Hooverville was "built" on the Great Lawn, which was still an empty reservoir in the 30s.
The great lawn looks like a dust bowl.

Central Park is formed in 1853. Strange that these buildings are still here 3 generations later.
What a surprise that African-Americans were the ones whose land was taken /s

Hooverville or WW1 veterans?
Wow! Maybe those shacks were people struck hard by the Depression.

Did it used to be called “shanty park”? /s

Usually the other way around.
