From The Real Deal:With the City Council set to vote Thursday on the Domino Sugar Factory condominium development's plans, insiders say that fewer than expected affordable housing units may make the cut, according to the New York Post. The vote, which would grant a zoning change to allow for the $1.5 billion Williamsburg development, is expected to be approved by the council. Still, the zoning change proposal includes no provisions guaranteeing that 30 percent of the 2,200 apartments will be affordable, as developer CPC Resources had previously promised. This constitutes a major risk, affordable housing advocates say, allowing CPC a loophole to back out of its affordable housing pledge. The project is expected to break ground next year, with various phases of construction set to extend over the next 10 years.

The big tall sky piercing buildings on the water that look like they belong in Dubai have made it clear to affordable housing tenants to not even think about using their swimming pool.
Affordable housing an oxymoron that that moron city planner amanda the peoples' BURDEN uses as a Trojan Horse to supersize and bust through zoning.
Did you notice how amanda socialite mega millionaire and scott stringer just get older and their faces just get tighter? creepy.
Impeach them both and king bloomberg
Check out Burden's Wikipedia page. It's a HOOT. She was born in 1944.

Then they are breaking the law. Even in private co-ops and condos that have statutory tenant renters -every- amenity available to "owners" MUST be equally available to renters. I live in a co-op and those are the rules we honor to all.
In that same spirit those 80-20 or 60-40 buildings must intersperse the "affordable" units within the building and furnish them with the same (cheap) finishes and fixtures. If people are being denied access to their building's facilities, get a lawyer. You hit people in the head with a 2-by, that's how it works.
Don't waste you time with this "impeach Bloombag" bull.
