    Well, at least the cantilever was pushed back.

  2. this isn’t affordable housing !!!
    It’s INCOME LINKED HOUSING FOR UPPER INCOME PEOPLE ONLY.
    What a joke
    This millionaire developer used the now dead 421A NYS Taxpayer subsidized program to build

    At 130 percent of the AMI, there are eight one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $3,140 for incomes ranging from $107,658 to $165,230, and one two-bedroom with a monthly rent of $3,753 for incomes ranging from $128,675 to $198,250.

    We have a housing crisis for low and middle income people and this is what they build to help that ?!
    So sad

  3. Leaving aside the fact that there is also a housing crisis for people making say 100-150k, this is a bit absurd. This is basically sponsorship so people can get a nicer/fancier apartment than what they would otherwise be able to get. That shouldn’t happen.

  4. So called affordable housing is a joke. Who is it affordable
    For certainly not for low or middle probably not even for upper middle class ! Horrible !

  5. What’s the purpose of this setback? Makes for sense for this to be in line with the apartment house not the townhouse. Would have looked a lot better.
