NOT AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT INCOME LINKED HOUSING FOR UPPER INCOME PEOPLE only
We have a housing crisis for low and middle income and this is what they offer?!
What a joke on NYS taxpayers that subsidized the millionaire developer with the 421A program to build
At 130 percent of the AMI, there are 16 studios with a monthly rent of $2,885 for incomes ranging from $98,915 to $146,900; 54 one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $3,050 for incomes ranging from $104,572 to $165,230; and 40 two-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $3,669 for incomes ranging from $125,795 to $198,250.
Those aren’t high rents. Nowadays you pay $2,000 a month for new construction in Indiana or Ohio or whatever. Paying $3,000 for new construction in the middle of NYC is relatively affordable. Also those incomes are middle class these days. Not for the wealthy. Yes, the term “affordable housing” is kind of silly, but whatever. It’s income-restricted, rent stabilized housing. And the cancellation of 421a has been a disaster for NYC renters. It means basically nothing is being built, which will drive rents even higher. Hopefully the Governor can push through a replacement program very soon.
You know that YIMBY is just a trojan horse, yes? They really could care less about affordable housing and are morally deprived real estate promoters.
