Say it ain't so! On Left Center Left, Chris says the case of Fasika, an Ethiopian restaurant that doubled as a Dominican nightclub on South Huntington before it shut down following complaints from nearby Pondside residents, is a classic example:

They want to push out perfectly law-abiding minority Bostonians from their slice of JP for a modest uptick in their property values. ...

Isn't the author the one who deemed this restaurant/club's clientele as "lowerer (sic) class"? What gives him that right?
He might want to look inward regarding classism.
