Those 80/20 buildings will all be mostly section-8 in a few years as the market rate tenants will wake up to what they are living with, and flee the loud parties, fights and NYPD visits. But that is the whole point of 'inclusionary zoning' to at first use market rate rents to subsidize the affordable units, then drive the market rate tenants out.
Condo owners and private home owners are a huge voting block that no councilmember wants to anger. But who knows with deBlasio. The law is pretty clear on the property rights of homeowners.
Opinion: deBlasio acts like he is part Roman. He seems to follow a creed. "I came. I saw. I conquered."
Opinion: Smart move..........I did too..once the Delis,Bakeries,Restaurants and Butcher
Shops were replaced by bodegas,and so called houses of worship.................
That old woman that featured in the vid is lucky she aint homeless. Honestly she is one step away. Her relative or whoever is supporting her bites the dust and she is screwed. She ought to have more empathy.
But yes, they should put more in yuppie/hipster areas.
Opinion: I have less fear of people who call it as they sees it rather than hiding behind a fake smile

Also interesting was that woman had a accent, and then Borden made the comment that no "New Yorker" would say those things. Sort of "go back to where you came from" thinking if you ask me.
The brown guy is a shill. He is reading a prepared statement off his Iphone.
LMAO.... That guy also likely won't be impacted by any of this. He'll back to whatever neighborhood he lives in with his pricey iPhone. The hypocrisy isn't lost on me at all.
Glendale needs a homeless shelter. People in Queens go homeless and it is wrong to try to dump all the city’s homeless on Brownsville and East New York or Jamaica.

They definitely should. Warehousing poverty in just a few neighborhoods on the fringe of the city only condemns the residents to long the poverty as they see far from jobs and specialized services bices they need like job training, education, medicine, and mental healthcare,
