New York has demonstrated that the opposite is true. In fact, the buildings benefit people across a range of economic strata, and neighborhoods have been revived this way.It benefits a "lucky" minority in much the same way the state lottery benefits some of its participants. There is not nearly enough subsidized housing for those who are eligible, and if there were, then nearly the entire housing market in the city would have to be in the form of publicly subsidized housing. If the range of income is set so too many upper middle class people benefit, the answer is to adjust thresholds. Yes, some areas of the city will not support the working class as well as others. That's true everywhere. That can be tweaked. Of New York's eight million people, 5.7 million are members of 1.7 million families earning less than $50,240. Would you lower the threshold below that? or would you build 1.7 million subsidized homes? New York's success speaks for itself. That's not how you spell failure. |
