The Gut
The federal government didn't have much good to be said about the D4/D5 redlined neighborhood known as the "The Gut" of Albany in 1930s.
This area deserves to be classified as a slum neighborhood. Many former two family houses are now used for three families by use of the basement as a separate unit.
Favorable Influences: All city facilities and adjacence to center of city and industry.
Detrimental Influences: Age and obsolescence. Close to railroad and Hudson River- cellars are flooded with high water. Green Street is known as the "Red Light" district."

The current Trump administration has made 70% more changes to government environmental websites during its first 100 days than the first Trump administration did, and those changes are bolder, according to a report published by the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI).
EDGI is a nonprofit network of researchers who work with data, started after President Trump took office in 2017. It documents loss of access and usability of government environmental information and preserves that information for public use.
