This is City Of Yes before it became a brand.
Mayor Adams and City Planning Commissioner Dan Garodnick really think building more of these will bring down rents? This is the reason of the housing and homeless crisis that has no end in sight.
Do not advertise it as affordable housing. shame on major Adams
Do commentators like this somehow think it would be a better alternative if the future tenants moving into this type of development instead moved to a lower income neighborhood driving up the rents of the existing units because that is what they are advocating for?
Why do they keep saying these places are affordable housing? Affordable for who? I have an idea WOW! SHAME.
