seriously? build govt subsidized housing in arguably the most expensive part of Manhattan?
Yes, this is a great idea as long as we are using the correct subsidies to get the affordable housing. In this particular situation hopefully the ‘subsidy’ should be allowing the developer to build a larger building as the other side of this block is waterfront, and that subsidy gives a lot of value, while costing the community nothing.
If you sell these units instead you can build 4 times more units in the suburb
I like the redevelopment of this block, but I’ve always thought the math was off. Manhattan is famous for some unique deals and I think the developers knew exactly what they were doing here. I’m not sure anything would have been built on the block without this part of the package.
Those Jenga blocks are an onion waiting to be peeled back.
Why not? People deserve a nicer neighborhood
I applied!
this is great, and a well to do neighborhood, our seniors will enjoy the greatness and views, plus the true affordability
There’s a two tower complex going up same GC right on the water front. 80 Clarkson Street.
Developer is building already on waterfront side.
yea thanks to the tax payers
Great idea!!! The Village is a historicly LGBTQ neighborhood and hopefully a significant number of these homes will be occupied by LGBTQ seniors!!!
that would be discrimination. and this part of the village housed no one – let alone LGBTQ – now the oldsters may have cruised the piers. but again their sexual status does not make them more qualified or less than anyone else.
thank you
“let alone LGBTQ – now the oldsters may have cruised the piers.” really? Am I the only person offended?
Omg, that’s hilarious! I guess i should be offended too, but for the most part LGBTQAI will add more spice back to the hood, cause i don’t see many of us left, just a bunch white boring people, and i’m white
That is sort of ancient history now. Anyone who can remember Christopher St. in the 1970s knows much the demographics of the Village have changed. The popular area now is above 14th St.
This is exactly what is wrong with this affordability requirement- first these incomes are way too low – only poors who get section 8.
and aint nothing is free. These apartments will cost over a million each and the rents are so low they won’t cover costs. and the taxpayers are paying the rent (!)
Meanwhile to pencil out the asking prices for the market rate are so high that not even hard working well to do New Yorkers can afford it. As someone said, you could house 4x the residents for even less at another not so expensive location. So those entitled lottery ticket winners get a deal but it does nothing for the housing shortage for all.
Found the old person hater!
As an old person, this is way too far away from shopping and transportation for an old person. How old were the people who decided to put senior housing here?
Sounds too good to be true
I’ll apply. never heard of ‘cruising the piers’ though I’m not one of the LBGTQ community
Hi I would like to apply for this low income housing for senior. Please furnish us what is needed to qualify. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.
you do the homework
That’s great LGBTQ need housing too.
