Following your logic of a level playing field then there is no need for rent stabilized units all units should be at market rate coorect. The 421 program comes up for renewal this year it does every few years adjustments are made as new economic conditions warrant them. Incentives when applied correctly are good public policy.

Not only is that untrue, if it was true, WHY are we taxpayers subsidizing housing projects for the wealthy?<br /><br />On a level playing field, developers would take their chances just like any other investor without needing to be subsidized by the fucking city and state govt which are facilitating the rapid change in demographics we've seen over the past 20 years.<br /><br />If it smells like bullshit and looks like bullshit, then it IS bullshit....chris flashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-47486106532489574102015-02-25T06:51:27.352-05:002015-02-25T06:51:27.352-05:00An abatement maybe the difference as to a construc...An abatement maybe the difference as to a construction project getting done or not and eventually on the tax rolls. Housing tax credits started in the Koch Administration primarily aimed at the outer boroughs. But subsidies go on forever low income housing started with La Guardia in the Depression meant to be a helping hand for five years for the poor not a life long entitlement handed down like a heirloom. These "Towers in the Park" are as undesirable today as the tenement slums they replaced sixty or seventy years ago. EV Grieve is a Village blog and should be open to all positions and philosophies wanting an expression. This city has high taxes to begin with knocking wealthy people, really to often I see project kids in 120 dollar Nikes, iphones and plenty of bling up to no good.One of these little monsters called my golden retriever a coyote and threatened to kick him a few months back. When I was a kid of little family means a five dollar pair of Keds was Christmas in July.

Corporate welfare no it's a question of how much of a bit of the apple government gets of a corporations profits. "Yuppie Ghettos" now there is a phrase from the eighties these new buildings are occupied by tax paying citizens spending income in the neighborhood at shops and local businesses.

The fact is that the shooter lives in a project and has a gun inside it. <br />If the projects weren't run by the commies in the gub'ment, that would imply that they were privately owned, possibly by the people who lived in them. They would then have real incentive to kick out the druggies and the gunnies. <br /><br />Bill the anarchist and anti-commieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-90698349420207263942015-02-24T10:54:15.796-05:002015-02-24T10:54:15.796-05:00He was gunned down on the public sidewalk, not in ...He was gunned down on the public sidewalk, not in the building.
