  1. It really does lift the soul…

  2. This isn’t affordable housing but INCOME LINKED HOUSING and only affordable to upper middle income and upper income people, not the low income people of the Bronx who desperately need housing.
    This is a joke and a NYS taxpayer subsidy to millionaire developers.
    421A is dead so this might stop

  3. Has all the charm of a crime scene on “Law & Order:SVU”! 🥺

  4. Hurray!
    More Buildings!
    More People!
    More Density!
    More Traffic on our streets, subways and busses, etc.,
    While our fragile infrastructure
    continues to crumble.

    This is the Evil of Rezoning:
    One less Family Home.
    The is No Planning for our true needs.
    Who profits?
    Ruthless Real Estate Opportunists.
    Who loses?
    We The Community.

    Shame on all the Talentless Architects
    for knocking out
    Another Hideous Building.
    Is this your Best Work?
    Do you have any
    Concept of Style and Design?
