So I am not automatically to the construction of "affordable" housing. However...<br /><br />I did a survey for our tenants association throughout our approx 100 apt building a few years ago to determine what exactly constituted "affordable housing" for our mostly young professional market rate neighbors and came up with a figure – for individuals – somewhere in the $1,600-2,000/month range. It will be interesting to see what David Amirian considers "affordable."Ken from Ken's Kitchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-76040540672934375592012-01-27T10:20:19.767-05:002012-01-27T10:20:19.767-05:00Dear Ev

Too sad. <br /><br />The destruction and ugly cheap aesthetics of the east village has rendered me speechless. It is becoming one of the most generic looking places to live or visit. It has nothing to do with "progress." Even other areas of the city have a better sense of architecture and community. Who wants to live in ugly open glass generic buildings? Plenty. And yet, the birds outside are still chirping.

It's just so outlandishly WRONG.glammanoreply@blogger.com
