Now that's authentic. <br /><br />But seriously, developers, when are you giving back? We have an overload of residences, but less and less amenities, both public, semi-private, and private, catering to the neighborhood. Where is DeBlasio working out -- not just the ratio to the bogus exclusionary low income apartments -- but the crucial ratio that needs to be mandated by the city in providing the amenities that are needed with the crushing influx of luxury housing that only drain and strain our public infrastructure more and more.<br /><br />Real estate developers do nothing to provide, or subsidize, such amenities. And that should change. It's killing our neighborhood.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
