Why this hasn't been as big a scandal as the Rivington House plunder is astounding. This is actually worse because it is going to disrupt and displace people already living there, at least Rivington was unused.

And as NYCHA perennially and clearly intentionally lets their buildings rot from mismanagement and neglect, De Faustio's lowlife donor gets to dwarf the buildings already standing and get a big century tax break (How the hell does this work, does he think he's going to spawn a big family tree of entitled trust fund babies?)

All of these people, our corrupt mayor, that technocrat Shoya Oilyotae, and that wretched developer donor are soulless monsters.

And NBC should stop wasting time doing local news, this story is super late and the segment is super short, 2 minutes for something this devastating to the community and environment? It's become a joke.
