Can you believe these assholes?
There's a new luxury condo being planned on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and the developer is seeking a ton of tax breaks by building 55 low-income units in the same building. The catch? Those for the poor are going to face away from the Hudson River (maybe expected), and oh, yeah, they'll also have a separate entrance, elevator and maintenance company. Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, a Democrat who represents the Upper West Side, said the developer's plans "smack of classism" and is urging the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Develop to deny the company its tax breaks.
Appalling and disgraceful - I hope someone takes legal action against the morons who dreamed up this sick thing.
ReplyDeleteWith working class people being driven from the 5 boroughs by the outrageous rents charged for existing housing stock, I'd gladly suck it up and laugh all the way to my clean, new, safe apartment while the fkers in front of me pay millions of dollars for the same space/premium view.
