I wonder how much these cost to build per unit.
NYCHA now claims it needs $78 BILLION for all the necessary repairs to existing housing. That works out to $500,000 per unit, which is absolutely insane.
Corruption and indifference are the only things NYC seems to know.
I don’t believe that 78 billion report for a second. They’re claiming the cost has increased by half just in the last few years? I try not to be cynical but this is about the crookedest or most incompetent thing I’ve seen in a while.
Nonetheless, feels absurd to spend such amounts to try and fix/Improve terrible looking housing. Seems better to start building new (and more) on site (and get rid of the parking in Manhattan while you’re at it in exchange for more housing)
Why get rid of parking? Just relocate all the cars to a nearby lot in the area there are 100s of them in Manhattan..
Any way these families can feel safer here? especially with parking their car.
It’s very scary and dark, homeless walk around the neighborhood, people’s cars are constantly broken into.
Is there any way to have police there from 7-8pm-6am
