They will be demolishing those units. I think it's set to begin next year.

Do you know if they'll be replaced with more affordable housing?

It depends upon who's list you look at. I know that i saw either an IRS or CT-DRS list last year that listed North Stamford(06903), as having the highest average taxable income. I questioned it initially, but after thinking about it, it doesn't seem far-fetched. I would guess that those in NC, Greenwich, and Darien are slightly savier at sheltering their income, whereas the 06903's are high-income, high-expenses families with less investment flexibility.

Darien has a development called Allen Oneill which has affordable housing. I know there are plans to add to it and to improve it while still keeping it affordable.

Not sure these lists tend to be stat meaningful/accurate....

All the nos. sound awfully low vs housing costs, prop txs, etc etc in any expensive suburbs of SF/NYC/LA/Chic....

Investment bankers tend to have some of highest W-2 incomes on planet....but many hedgies/pvt equity guys/business owners can recognize income in far more tax-efficient, nonlinear ways....e.g., many wealthy tech guys technically leave SF Peninsula for NV residence the yr they sell a major tech co., to avoid CA state inc txs....some NYC/Greenwich guys who've sold hedge funds, etc have relocated to London for a yr to similarly reduce their tax bill, etc etc.....

Lots of smart, rich guys out there....they tend to own several houses, some in more tax-efficient places than high-tax NYC/CA....

I agree. I just think they make a decent discussion.
