NEW YORK — (TG) New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, acting swiftly in response to an emotional, expletive-littered denunciation of gentrification by perennially furious movie director Spike Lee, has issued an emergency directive ordering all refuse collected in the city to be dumped on up-and-coming Brooklyn enclave Fort Greene.

The mayoral action is intended to address a number of concerns raised by Lee, a Fort Greene native, during a thunderous speech he delivered at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute on Tuesday.

Lee, furious that white yuppies emboldened by a lack of violent crime now enter the neighborhood with impunity, delivered a thunderous speech warning of the dire consequences of gentrification, including rising home values, reduced crime, and, perhaps worst of all, a heartbreaking reduction in the piles of uncollected rubbish and miscellaneous litter that many regard as indispensable cornerstones to the iconic streetscapes of classic ghetto America.
