SoHo (short for South of Houston Street) is one of the richest neighborhoods in New York City, USA. SoHo is located in southern Manhattan, surrounded by NoHo, Little Italy, TriBeCa and South Village. According to Insider, around the 1960s, SoHo was mainly home to industrial parks, textile factories, and manufacturing factories. Then, when the factories and companies leave one by one. SoHo attracts artists who are looking for workspaces here. Most of the buildings in SoHo were used as a place of business and commerce for decades. Many cult brands, retailers are located in this area. If you go along some roads in SoHo, visitors will be overwhelmed by the luxury and splendor. SoHo’s history is reflected in iconic cobblestone streets. It dates from the 19th to 20th century and is interconnected through many zones. In 1990, rents in this area skyrocketed. Many visitors come here to enjoy a day of shopping, dine at Manhattan’s best restaurants or take a scenic walk. SoHo has plenty of space to display artworks. For example, The Drawing Center, a non-profit exhibition on Wooster Street, is a place for artists in SoHo. Martha Beck, curator of the Museum of Modern Art, founded The Drawing Center in 1977 as a place to interact and create creative spaces for local artists. Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Historic Preservation Association, calls SoHo “a historic gem with a unique architecture.” It captures the story of a city’s development from small town to the center of world culture and trade. With its existing advantages, SoHo is being proposed to be planned to create affordable real estate for the middle class. According to The Gothamist reported in October 2020, Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York, said the city government is considering re-zoning SoHo. The New York City Planning Department plans to add 3,200 units to the neighborhood. Of which 800 units will be priced lower than the market price. Bringing affordable housing to the affluent is a typical New York strategy for repartitioning people with lower incomes, according to Insider. Will Thomas, board member for Open New York, the SoHo affordable housing group, sees it as a “historic opportunity”. “This will really change the unwritten rules surrounding the development in this city. In particular, during the pandemic, affordable housing is more essential than ever,” Thomas told. The Gothamist.
