New housing developments almost always will raze a decades old building with 3 or 4 apartments per floor for a shiny new building with 1 or 2 "luxury" apartments per floor. This is partly due to zoning (affordable housing is effectively illegal at a municipal level) and partly due to the housing market (the working class cannot afford to purchase new housing, they must rent the old).
- youeseh 5y agoDo people in Bed Stuy (or the rest of the city) organize against new construction that reduces supply?
- skystarman 5y agoThe answer to your question is that people in Bed Stuy and NYC in general organize against ALL new construction.
