  1. stop calling this affordable housing!
    THIS IS INCOME LINKED HOUSINGand only affordable tu upper income people , not the low income people of this neighborhood.
    this is a taxpayer subsidy to millionaire developers.
    Finally 421A is dead and this will end.
    This is a joke.

  2. I guess there was a good sale on that floor tile.

    • If you notice, all the smaller buildings with about 20 units are not for certain people, the incomes are affordable for only a certain people. Yet these monstrosities with 300 units are very affordable!!

    I have a section 8″studio or bedroom apartment voucher worth $2,100. I’m on S.S.I and will be living alone and have no pets.

  6. This is not affordable housing this is literally luxury buildings yall giving people who already make more than than minimum or low income wages. These buildings are not for people who actually need the housing in a place where rent is not regulated at all rn this is legit the perfect way to discriminate in nyc cause let’s be real how many people are making that kinda money in nyc n are low income and minorities?! Developers have literally lost their mind if they trying to convince us between 60k n 156k is LOWWWW INCOME especially in nyc where they don’t like to pay! Anybody making 100k n more is literally in a completely tax bracket than people who jobs barely paying them 30k a year after tax. These lotteries are literally rigged 🤣🤣🤣 minorities have no chance in low income situations to get these apartments unless you’re in a shelter with nothing and even then you don’t get the option to have an apartment that’s not on the ground floor. And even those ppl are still not getting placed quickly into AFFORDABLE apartments cause they not really affordable.

  7. How do u say this is affordable, not for low income, this a joke

    One of the reasons I ran for the NYC Council 35th CD. This is not affordable housing and should not be called such. It is an insult to low and moderate income NYers.
