Woodside twin luxury public housing towers looks even worse than when it was first proposed




This is some development. Well, some over-development. It wasn't long ago when the city promised to build a school here along with promises to devote more units for families, but the folks at Madison Realty Capital had some other plans thanks to the former Mayor de Blasio's HPD very generous upzoning approval, much to the chagrin of the community's and Council member Holden's objections.

 



Have to admire the tenacity of this one holdout homeowner



 










 



Admin note: I was notified that I implied this was a NYCHA building and that's not the case at all. Luxury public housing is what I describe every new "affordable housing" building that has gone up in the last decade, mostly those built during the Blaz years, because of the ratio of incremental low rent units to higher market rate units.

Does anybody know the history of that small house wedged in between those huge buildings???

Not sure if you're implying there won't be a school in this development? Because that is incorrect. The school is the first 3 or 4 floors of the tower on 70th and 47th Ave. Also you're conflating two projects - one is 70th and Queens Blvd and the other is two towers on 69th and QB and 79th and 47th Ave.

I never implied that at all but I should have elaborated. Apologies.

According to the DOB that little house had a full vacate order.

Get your facts straight, bitch. Take pride in your community. Take pride that there is in fact a future school in this project. Take pride that there will also be a public park at the ground floor.

Something smells, my thumb is in my asshole.

More bug housing for bugmen. This is the future you wanted, Leftists.

By the way, I LOVE the name "Madison Realty Capital." Madison! So early American! So founding fathers! So WASPy! Oh, who owns it?

Josh Zegen, Brian Shatz, Adam Tantleff, and so on. This joint is a sure bet to be on the "Worst Landlords" list in the near future.

There's on-site parking there for the residents? Or they'll all have to squeeze onto the Queens Boulevard bus along with all the newbies further up and down the street?

@GTA

I rode by there last autumn and there was a massive pit so there might be parking underground. But with all the newbies you mentioned that are right across the street and once that school is finished there's going to be anarchy. Or make that "carnarchy".

@Anon Re: Bitch

Don't know about that park. Looks like it's going to be pretty incremental. And families are not even going to be living there to have the amenity of a school just a few steps away. Greed wins here, not the housing insecure people.

None. Only the un-elected overlords like Schwab, Gates, Rcokefuckers would want that.
