One Riverside Park, the luxury-condominium complex on Riverside Boulevard, at Sixty-second Street, has a separate entrance for its fifty-five affordable units. Dorchester is no Manhattan. But as the only entrance of its kind on any of the surrounding streets, it is distinctly marked as a thing apart, as clearly “other” as servants’ quarters. But when we have 88,000 people waiting for 55 units, it seems immoral not to at least give real consideration to any tradeoffs that could allow us to help more families – even if it means that some people have ‘inferior’ entrances to their buildings.

There are numerous benefits to having all of the occupants of market rate and affordable units in the same building with equal access to the shared and often high-end amenities, features that would rarely be placed in 100% affordable developments. It is hard to believe that having a low-income housing project next door is much more attractive to the higher-income residents who would presumably prefer the affordable housing be located across town.

There is no doubt that most well-off Americans would strongly prefer to live in economic isolation, but we have seen few examples of market-rate housing residents resisting low-income neighbors in their buildings. Poor doors—which provide a far less desirable entrance to a building for lower and moderate income residents—simply reinforce the sickening notion that those with more money are inherently superior to the rest of us.

It seems to me that the real issue with carving out the affordable units into a separate building is that, generally, the ownership entities are also divided. Foundations are built; scheduled to open in 2022. New York had been allowing this practice for years and the Times had even criticized it previously, but the phrase “poor door” captured the public imagination and reminded many of segregation in the Jim Crow South.

Hudson Yards, known as the most expensive real estate project in American history, lays all but abandoned amid the country's coronavirus pandemic. Inclusionary terms of affordability are quite often shorter than publicly-subsidized ones (and hardly ever in perpetuity), which means we will face an expiring use problem sooner rather than later. or. What strikes me here as the real issue, is not some different doors but the fact that New York does not have an Inclusionary Housing requirement. It is tempting to characterize my position as ‘separate but equal’ and I think that is a fair complaint – I would agree that the poor door buildings are ‘inferior’ (and not just the entrances).

Hudson Yards was developed very close to the West Side Highway by the Hudson River. To some, more units is more important than increasing segregation based on class, and very likely race. (If, that is, the millionaires are even around; as my colleague Patrick Radden Keefe wrote yesterday, many of the wealthiest owners of Manhattan property use their apartments as investments while avoiding official residency, and the taxes that come with it.) 25 people like this. It does appears that you need to have the vision and the intent to create mixed-income projects that are truly mixed-income. Each time we remove a unit from the world of speculative real estate we strike a blow against the idea that markets are an appropriate way of allocating shelter; we prove that social housing works. In fact, I don’t know anyone from the old neighborhood that even WENT to college. I was curious to see what the Riverside Boulevard neighborhood was actually like, but it wasn’t a neighborhood, not really. I am not the only one who thinks that a little awkwardness is a fair price for the benefits of neighborhood integration. In NYC I think they have seperate buildings on one legal parcel so they have one owner for both the market rate and affordable buildings.

Hudson Yards Experience Center New York, NY A collaboration between the LAB at Rockwell Group and our architecture and interior design practice, the Hudson Yards Experience Center for the residences at 15 Hudson Yards (Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group) and 35 Hudson Yards (SOM) tells the story of the neighborhood with luxurious materials and interactive technology.

The 116 affordable units, on the other hand, will rent for $800 to $1,400 … Most of the time we should integrate affordable units into market rate buildings but maybe not every single time. Developers need to pay for the privilege to build in New York unless they want to provide 100% affordable housing and then fees should be waived. We should, but the letter of the law and the interpretation of the law are not the same thing, and there is something genuinely grotesque in Extell’s interpretation of the affordability mandate—a mandate that exists not simply to house non-millionaires in Manhattan but expressly to house them alongside millionaires. Market-rate condos in Extell’s “poor door” project start at $7 million, so you can imagine the size of the tax benefit that would be necessary to convince a developer to instead rent one of those units for roughly $800 per month. It is deeply troubling that when economic integration occurs we see the stark contrast between rich and poor. Fred, we also agree on the importance of empirical evidence – which is why I included several links to the social science research that has led me to to take this sometimes unpopular position.

Is there really anyone who believes that ANY low income family wouldn’t choose to live in a “segregated” building with access to good schools and services but no access to the luxury pool and spa when the alternative is a segregated neighborhood with poor schools and poor services? Also, the fact that 88,000 people applied for a small number of affordable housing units in one development despite the presence of a separate “poor door” entrance is not evidence that occupants of affordable housing units find this practice acceptable much less that a separate “poor door” complies with fair housing laws. When the opportunity came to move to a racially segregated neighborhood with better schools, my mother jumped at the chance. Over the summer, Mayor Bill de Blasio amended the language of the 421-a tax-abatement program to forbid the creation of separate entrances for tenants of different classes, a nice gesture that became irrelevant last Friday, when the program expired, after a six-month extension, amid the usual New York City/Albany finger-pointing.

The Hudson Yards area includes … But it is neighborhood integration that seems to matter – from the data we have so far. The cheapest of the 247 condos will a one-bedroom listed for $1.25 million. Some would call it a “fake, luxury world”, that’s not needed and only changes the skyline to the worst. That juxtaposition is as misplaced as your suggestion that we might have to “give up” on integration in exchange for more affordable housing units. I concur with Mr. Jacobs’ perspective regarding a very high importance of optimizing class/race/ethnic integration in communities with higher opportunities, while placing a somewhat lower value on having class integration in the all the exact same buildings. A huge housing lottery has launched at 15 Hudson Yards that will bring 107 affordable apartments to the newly redeveloped area of West Chelsea.Rising 88 stories over 11th Avenue, 15 Hudson Yards was one of the first buildings to break ground and top out in the super-development.

The exclusive 35 Hudson Yards tower next door, designed by David Childs and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill will house high-end apartments, a luxury hotel, a spa and further office space. And guess what? Bill de Blasio, Friend of Real-Estate Developers? The affordable housing industry and the politicians have gotten ridiculous with its politically correct agenda. The same was true in DC when I lived there. I suspect in years to come, we will see this division of market rate and affordable projects as neither equitable or equality if we don’t require the market rate units to retain responsibility for the maintenance of the affordable units through some sort of ongoing operating and capital funding. “Equity,” he said, is about fairness and “equality” is about sameness. As an affordable housing developer we are always faced with tradeoffs and choices. And in that context, the fact that there are so many people who need help and aren’t likely to get any has to be an important factor. Extell’s new building, at 50 Riverside Boulevard, on Sixty-second Street—One Riverside Park, if you want to call it by its invented prestige-address—was to contain two hundred and nineteen luxury condominiums ranging in price from 1.3 to nearly twenty-six million dollars, along with a gym, a swimming pool, a bowling alley, a rock-climbing wall, an indoor playground, a squash court, a golf simulator, and—in order to qualify for 421-a, a tax abatement available to developers who throw a smattering of affordably priced units in with the glossy ones—fifty-five rent-stabilized apartments reserved for people earning no more than sixty per cent of the area’s median income. The New Yorker may earn a portion of sales from products that are purchased through our site as part of our Affiliate Partnerships with retailers. Our neighbors didn’t like us and we were discriminated against on a regular basis. I am sorry that it was not clearer. And for the record, “equality” means “sameness” only in math, and it is no surprise that historically this tortured misuse of the term has been favored by segregationists and right wing sophists. When you segregate people before they even enter the building, you are removing the most organic way to bridge divides. They are willing to pay because the opportunities for profit are so great. In 2013 Extell Development Company received city approval to construct a limestone-and-glass tower on Riverside Boulevard, a residential strip stretching from Fifty-ninth to Seventy-second streets, on the edge of Manhattan’s West Side. To have entry buzzers that don’t work, as the 40 Riverside Boulevard tenants told the Post was the case, while One Riverside Park comes equipped with a fleet of responsive doormen; or to not have light fixtures at home while the lobby of One Riverside Park is artfully illuminated by a chandelier of hand-blown glass; or to gaze out onto a courtyard accessible only to the owners at One Riverside Park are minor, par-for-the-course annoyances in New York. I urge you to do a story on the developers who are using design to bring diverse folks together and how they finance these projects. Hudson Yards is a 28-acre real estate development in the Manhattan . Riverside Boulevard juts out of West End Avenue, horseshoe-like, and is cut off from the Hudson River piers and pedestrian walkway by the West Side Highway; it’s a place you have to intend to get to, not easily stumbled upon, and that isolation has turned it into an enclave, the bizarro inverse of the Amsterdam Houses, the project complex just across West End. So neighbors are not generally providing job leads or helping lower-income residents build “social capital.” This means that while neighborhood-level integration is essential, building-by-building integration may offer no additional benefit. If we could offer affordable units that are identical to the $25 million dollar luxury homes without serving fewer people, I would not complain about that. It was exactly the overwhelming volume of data to the contrary that changed my mind. The “poor door” was hit with a lot of blowback when the plans first got out. Development of the rail yard site generated considerable community opposition.

The one example you cite in NYC is an extreme and not representative of the vast majority mixed-income rental housing developments in New York City. Equality is a moral concept, rooted in the reality of a single human race; it implies the responsibility of everyone to treat each other in accordance with that reality. Units in a six-story building are both less expensive to build and less valuable to sell.

But here we are talking about a private good and the question is how can the public sector intervene to make a grossly unfair housing market slightly less unfair. This will mean that the building is managed in the public interest on into the future. Over time, if the affordable project has not been able to capitalize its reserves enough, they will need to look for additional government subsidy. living in the same building has no value apart from your opinion that occupants of market rate and affordable housing will probably not barbecue together or routinely socialize. Perhaps while getting mail and riding the elevator, a market rate person and low income person could come to recognize each other. An ad on the front of the Aldyn, the building one block over, showed a dead ringer for Christian Grey strolling along a vast, empty swimming pool. The tenants of 40 Riverside Boulevard quite literally won the lottery to be able to walk through the poor door; the building received more than eighty-eight thousand applications for its fifty-five spots. I imagine New York has a much greater profit potential. They built a six-story rental building immediately next to their 43-story luxury tower.
