How else could you explain that Mayor Mike would sign off on a plan to basically give developers land, land that now is used for playgrounds, community centers and parking lots for public housing, so they can build LUXURY condos. Yep, you heard right. The Daily News reports:
Internal documents obtained by the Daily News show the planned 4,330 apartments in eight developments are all in hot real estate neighborhoods, including the upper East and West Sides, the lower East Side and lower Manhattan. Developers will get a sweet deal: a 99-year lease with the lease payments to the authority frozen for the first 35 years.
Bloomberg is all for the luxury condos also having a million square foot parking lot and baseball field where the people in public housing hold "Family Day".
So, if you have a soul now you're pissed. It gets worse. Do you really think that the people in the luxury condos want to even look at the poors? Hell no:
"...and face away from the public housing."
We want their land but damned if we even want to look upon them. Maybe they could have entrances and exits away from us that are enforced under Bloomberg's, "Police for the Rich" doctrine.
All Bloomie needs is a next-mayor to carry this horrid plan through. He's happy to get the ball rolling but he'll need a willing patsy.
Good luck with that.
