- Shows that today's hyper-gentrification is "upgrading" the city to standards that are unaffordable to all but the very wealthy, pushing out even those who had been accused of gentrification in the past: New York's middle class
- Traces a pattern of favoritism toward the FIRE (finance, insurance, and real estate) sectors since the 1970s that has thwarted steps toward a more egalitarian and affordable city
- Argues that progressives' good intentions are thwarted by the result of 40 years of austerity, privatization, financial deregulation, and public financing of financial losses that have increased inequality
- Employs photographs and qualitative details from the author's time in various New York neighborhoods to depict steep class divisions
- Shows the true scope of the issue by relating facts about New York to situations in cities across the globe
