Reply to comment by moobycow in Further development of SoHo West. I know what I said. by scubastefon

As much as Fulop constantly gets shit for being "in bed with developers" he's done a terrific job from his side of the bed of pushing for affordable housing and green space amidst this mad rush of development (which was going to happen whether Fulop was in office or not).

Yup, and no new pilots downtown. He's a bit scummy and self serving, but there also aren't a lot of mayors I can think of that I would trade him for.

said it better than i could have; even if this is a favor to a developer, if it means that in 50 years there are still mixed affordable units close by the Holland tunnel, this is a big success IMO
