NY Post Stuyvesant Town Video
I just came across a youtube video, posted a year ago, that is narrated by the NY Post's Max Gross. It is a useful, if brief, look at the history of the development up to the present day, or at least 2008. The video touches on the massive relocation of people that preceded construction, and it also mentions Met Life's initial policy of not renting apartments to African-Americans. Gross then makes the rather astonishing claim that Stuyvesant Town is now "one of the most diverse communities in Manhattan. I lived there for 15 years and have no idea what he is basing that conclusion on.
