Both Fox’s piece and Bagli’s piece deal with the problem of the Stuyvesant Town housing complexes being inaccessible to certain groups of people.

Fox’s piece is more focused on how initially, the Stuy Town complexes were closed off to black families, even though the complexes were meant for families of average means and for war veterans–groups which included black families. Bagli’s piece is an examination of how the rent prices have skyrocketed and have all but excluded the families for whom the apartments were originally meant for. Though the two pieces look at it from different angles, Bagli’s shows how Stuy Town housing still remains largely inaccessible to the people for whom it was meant.
