The Paradox of AY Affordable Housing [AY Report]
What to Do with New Basement Floor? [AT]
OP here. I totally agree.
I would like to use AYR as a place to go for the issues surrounding AY and Ratner but Oder has to learn to be more succint and to the point.
I would comment on his blog but I can’t be bothered to register.
Norman, are you reading this?
That’s Norman Oder’s problem – he can’t write worth a damn and winds up confusing the reader more than anything else. If he learned to state his points succinctly, rather than in turgid 2,000 or 3,000 “articles”, perhaps he’d have more visitors to his blog.
The AYreport blogger does a good job but he obfuscates the issue of rent stablization due to his misunderstanding of when >$2000 per month stabilized apts are permitted.
He gets it in the end but keeps insisting that rent stablization means cheap. It should but it does not and his post would be a lot clearer if he took that bit out.
I agree that Bertha or whatever her name is from ACORN was duped because she obviously thought RS meant cheap also and that is the main point but it is obscured somewhat by the blogger’s own confusion.
