I saw that development in person and looks awesome. It should have been middle income...oh well..it's a start and is a great building nonetheless. Adding more low-income residents to the housing projects does nothing to solve the economic problems...if this were middle income condos...it would have been the model of what's to come.
An opportunity missed...yet again.
Understandable, the number of affordable housing units in areas like Morrisania should be cut and instead increased in areas like West Midtown. I feel this particular development could have done well designated mixed income. Especially with the structural amenities provided.
There will be plenty more, I believe the Soundview Houses were also being surveyed. Hopefully market rate or mixed income.

I agree as well....mixed income should be the goal, not simply more low income units on housing projects property. How is that alleviating the financial hole for NYCHA? It is making it worse by adding more low-income developments they will have to repair, maintain on rents which don't even cover the heating bill. It should be mixed income co-ops/condos/rentals, which would actually add revenue to their coffers so they can better serve their existing residents and properties!!!!

Wow, Has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard and read in awhile. Food for thought,Not everyone is Paris Hilton. There are people who grew up very destitute and became successful.
The original poster or someone after? Gentrification isn't what's happening in the housing projects..these new developments are completely separate and the only impact being there will be more revenue for the housing projects, but less parking, playgrounds, and community center.
So if your expenses are skyrocketing, and you cannot raise rents, and the feds are giving you more money, and you are legally required to house these people, what options do you have besides carving up some space to market rate development to raise revenue? If you have the answer, please let us know!
I do think there should allow market rate apts in NYCHA? Yes. Would you believe there is over 700,000 people part of the NYCHA living. They have their police force PSA aka Police Service Area which merged with the NYPD in the mid 90's. Their police force is over 5,000. Think of those numbers compared to big cities in America? Do I think the whole housing project was built with good intentions but has been abused over the years. The thought that we now have 3 or 4 generations of people never leaving assisted living is insane.
