STOP CALLING THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING!
THIS IS INCOME LINKED HOUSING AND ONLY AFFORDABLE TO UPPER INCOME PEOPLE NOT THE LOW INCOME PEOPLE OF NYC.
THIS IS A JOKE AND A TAXPAYER SUBSIDY TO MILLIONAIRE DEVELOPERS.
421A IS DEAD SO THIS HAS STOPPED AS OF JUNE 2022

Yes yes i like it thank you
To much money in that neighborhood. That’d a mortgage
For this area? I don’t think so. This is not affordable housing. Too much rent is being requested for low income families. You gotta do better.
Greedy
This is definitely affordable housing for Manhattan. Many upper income people prefer to live in public housing in this same neighborhood… WHY? FREE UTILITIES! If you would like better, then you have to pay more!
Dear Ed…..have you looked @ mortgages and bank rates lately? However, I wouldn’t live there for more than $2,000.
Dear Sheran….Reality is ALL RENTS have gone up in NYC and even in public housing (for those reporting all incomes of all family members). Sadly, NYC is not affordable even for middle income folks. Many poorest people pay the least rent if federally subsidized or rent controlled/stabilized.
