NEW YORK | Broadway Triangle | 1146 units
Pretty large project down the line:
====================== Dushinsky’s Rabsky Group plans nearly 800 units on former Pfizer site http://therealdeal.com/wp-content/up...-Wallabout.png Quote:

This sounds massive.
|
Uh oh, sounds like it would have to undergo the city's ULURP, otherwise known as the NIMBY fuckfest.
That's a huge plot of land. You'd think the city would allow more than just 800 units there. Betcha the CB's will complain that is too much. LOL. |
Yeah, that's almost 2 blocks of land there. There should easily be twice as many units.

NEW YORK | 200 Harrison Street (Broadway Triangle) | 1146 units

Why don't these groups ever look at the overall dynamics. If people with growing families need large apartments, then they will be moving out of their smaller two bedrooms. Move in there. New housing opens up existing units.
Or get a three bedroom and some roommates. Friends of mine did just that in a townhouse on Marcy for years. How is it possible for singles or couples without kids to tell the city developers can't build large apartments for families? Singles have lots of options to them. A large family can't share three one bedrooms. |
this will add to the density.
|
NIMBY's are now demanding a "racial impact study." Basically 40% of the affordable units will have 3 or 4 bedrooms, and because the neighborhood has a large Hasidic population, who tend to have larger families, this group is saying this project disproportionately favors the Hasidic community, even though 60% of the affordable units will be smaller units.
Edit : WTF even is a "racial impact study"??? Local government in this city is completely out of their minds. "...contend the city violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to incorporate a racial impact study into its rezoning process... ...According to Fennell, the development’s mix of affordable housing options (40 percent of the apartments are going to be 3 or 4 bedroom units, which CUFFH says disproportionately favors the area’s Hasidic Jewish families) and market-rate housing—which will most likely be filled by more affluent, primarily white tenants—will exclude black and Latino families and make Williamsburg even whiter... ...CUFFH and BRASH are asking a judge to throw out the Pfizer site zoning and do it again with a racial impact study included. “The study will determine what the project needs to look like,” according to Fennell. In response to the suit, a judge has issued a temporary restraining order, which Fennell said halted all construction on the project for the moment..." |
Insane.
If this is allowed, why not take it to the next logical step and sue the city for its rezoning process that is limiting the supply of new units on the market, which is causing widespread gentrification as wealthy white folks displace poor black and Hispanic families. That's the real Fair Housing Act violation. |
Silly because this area is owned by the Orthodox, like this is their hood, Southern Williamsburg and Borough Park, and they need space to live, and this is the last truly large vacant swath of land -- they're getting priced out just as minorities are. We need to stop this from being a race discussion, and start the idea that not catering to the Orthodox is antisemitic. Treating orthodox as just being white is intellectually dishonest, they are marginalized and treated like shit, even by whites, even more than any minority can claim to be. Hate how ridiculosu the race discussion has gotten in NYC.

Honestly, being a member of a given race, a minority, having some sort of ethno-racial-whatever grievance, whether you're black, Chinese, Orthodox, Italian, whatever ... NONE of that should mean you have any more or less ability to live somewhere than anyone else, as long as you can pay for it. Wasn't that why red-lining ended, for crying out loud?! |
I don't think a racial impact study will go far in this city. Its discriminatory.
|
I'm no lawyer, but there is a long standing notion of disperate impact by race in housing. The argument here seems like a reach, but it might be enough to tie the case up in courts for years or more probably give the opponents some power to negotiate some "community benefits" out of the developers.

This should add even more to the streetlife in that area. Nice. :)

Glad the suit didn't go through. BS, to have to conduct racial studies for rezoning. Oh brother. On step closer to this happening and less bs on the approval side of things.

Merged a duplicate thread with this one. Was the same project.
