How can NYYIMBY call this affordable housing?!
This is income linked housing for upper income people only when we have a housing crisis for low and middle income earners in NYC
What a joke
421A is dead

As far as I can tell, this address is in THE BRONX, near Yankee Stadium.
Macombs Place runs from just north of 149th St splitting off Frederick Douglass to the foot of the Macombs Dam Bridge and the 155th St viaduct. In Manhattan.
you’re misinformed. it is Manhattan.
Yes yes i like it. Thank you
It’s criminal what the City and real estate developers, are doing to that neighborhood, and the people who already there. They have no shame at all.
Yes, it’s absolutely criminal to replace a garbage-filled vacant lot with new affordable housing. The horror! How dare they! (sarcasm…).
It’s not affordable, it’s actually meant for households with higher than average income
It’s certainly not a bad thing to redevelop vacant land and the building is relatively near Yankee Stadium and some interesting areas. Why not stop by the Toyota dealership next door to buy a new car too! I don’t think this is the concern, the rent is not affordable for a lot of working-class folks so hearing ‘affordable’ for some readers with income and rents at these levels doesn’t compute. I think most working-class New Yorkers should consider moving to other places if they aren’t happy there because the city has clearly invested in gentrification as opposed to community redevelopment. And yes, while wanting to see as much redevelopment of the city as possible, these developments certainly call into question the efficacy of the 421(a) program.
Agree. This is a subsidy for people to just get a nicer apartment than they already could…these income ranges are silly for that neighborhood
Harlem seems to have a special power to resist redevelopment/gentrification. Why?
local politicians in Harlem are all black and old, and are against deghettofication
Yeah you white people kill me everything you helped to kill us will happen to you and we will watch you suffer as you’ve watched us
