Isn't this about the complex they're rebuilding, to give new homes to all the existing tenants? I'm unclear why this suggests they're going to lose the complex. The older buildings being replaced are in woeful condition and are past their usable lifespans. This is going to become necessary in every NYCHA complex evenutally, as most of the buildings are now older than 70 years.
stated like a true real estate developer.... no cares about new yorkers losing their homes. especially if they are elderly persons. the building I live in is 140 years old and in great condition -- that's called maintenance!
The point is that the 2000+ tenants of the Fulton/Chelsea-Elliot houses will not be losing their homes. Each and every one of them will move into new, upgraded apartments, and there will be an additional number of permanently affordable units (around 1000?). These houses as they exist now are in truly deplorable condition.
-> janet & brian - the 'point' you say is not the reality of the current residents...and the 'new' apartments will not be ready for quite a few years. many of these residents are elderly and some have disabilities. they have been treated with intimidation and hostility. how is that a positive? you really should speak with some of them and not just listen to the corporate line.
