Reply to comment by neutral_cloud in NY attorney general weighs in: Harlem truck depot could be illegal by ctnutmegger

Yeah. The developer is taking their ball and going home.

The councilmember said they'd vote yes if the developer allocated some of the apartments as 2 and 3 bedroom ones. The developer pulled the project instead. Who is being unreasonable in that scenario?

Lastly, if the developer is so strapped for cash, then why are they now proposing a low margin parking lot? That says they aren't strapped for cash.

Her official proposal was for 100% affordable units, with at least 57% going to 30% AMI tenants.

She also complained about the project being too large.

To act like this dispute was over the amount of 2-3BR affordable units is not only dishonest, but it is a lie that is contradicted by KJR's own words.

Unfortunately, only the developer gets to decide how strapped for cash they are or aren't. The NYT reports that the council member had quite a few other demands, not just adding a couple 2- and 3-beds. Do you have a link to where she says she dropped all her other demands regarding this project except for this one?
