The New York City Council approved a rezoning plan that will produce nearly 7,000 housing units, some of which will be offered at below-market rents, near four new commuter rail stations.

Is this a new idea or has it been done before?

including in areas currently filled with manufacturing sites

So the Big Arsehole wants to rezone manufacturers out of business?

Sounds like an improper taking, but what's the Constitution to leftists.

DC Mayor Marion Barry built some new housing built for the "natives". The Washington Post went there a year after the units were occupied, and examined a one year old new unit.

The Washington Post found a broken bathtub full of feces. The Post found holes punched in the walls. They found rats crawling in and out of open cereal boxes. This new unit was completely trashed.

I work in New York City and the amount of construction there is insane. Over the past 10 years, Long Island City (Queens) and downtown Brooklyn have built more skyscrapers than most other major cities and now have their own skylines rivaling Manhattan across the East River.

Same old s—t, just more projects to decay.

All promised BEFORE the election. Then things change.

More public-funded housing. More crime.

If they are going to build, why don't they try converting empty office towers into a new version of loft apartments?

Funny, everybody is moving out of NYC and they have the worst housing shortage, ever?!

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Instant slum.

[End Times Sentinel]

Well, it all depends.

In my neighborhood in Philadelphia, we’ve added about 1,200 high rise units. Off street parking, green spaces, gyms, etc. as well as retail/grocery/restaurant businesses. It’s been an absolute Blessing.

OTOH, if the city encouraged section 8 or HUD housing, it would have destroyed a neighborhood.

Now, my neighborhood is just a mile from city hall and walking/biking/public transit is very attractive for limp-wristed, dope smoking, deep blue hippies.

All I really “know” about The Bronx is that it’s to the north of Manhattan, or so I’ve come to believe. Maybe it’ll become a desirable neighborhood to Manhattan workers, I couldn’t say.

Many decades ago, I was working a late night mid shift with a buddy senior NCO of mine. We got to talking about what/who has the best position in life. He said, “I’d either want to be a full bird colonel or a black Airman basic 9E1).”

The colors and the trappings of status have changed but the basic tenet survives. It’s now, filthy rich or illegal just arrived in this country.

Reckon they’ll keep English as the nominal primary language?

[chris haney]

Good luck with that
