I wonder if the author of this plan, Vicki Been shown above plans to have any hoodrats move in next to her, or is the plan just for the little people to be forced to associate with the lower elements of society?
Because every neighborhood needs its own ghetto. Mayor Wilhem won't be happy until NYC turns into Detroit.
Move them to white yuppie leftist neighborhoods, and watch them scatter to the winds.
Ayn Rand was a prophet.
Don’t have crime in your neighborhood—We’ll bring it to you!!
Donald Trump, pick up the courtesy phone. The Mayor needs a verbal enema again.
Section 8 comin’ to Trump Tower!
and the Wilhelm family is going to lead the way by moving into the ‘hood!
oh...wait
NY City economy used to be very diversified. It now survives solely because of printed FED money and the resulting Wall Street earnings and taxes.
All it will take is an extended 20% bear-market to knock this city completely off its moorings.
HUD has been doing this for years. Did it in Florida one block over from my home when I lived there. Damn disaster, exactly as anyone with half a brain would have predicted.
Drugs, parties, LOUD cars/music all night, just trashed the neighborhood. They would scream racism every time the cops had to come out in the middle of the night. HUD would refuse to do anything. Eventually they were made to leave, but not before they trashed the area and destroyed the quality of life of everyone around them.
So, since it is likely that these areas where De Blasio is going to do this are 90% liberal Dems, I say go for it. It’s a great idea. Put two families in every upper income area. Give the voters just what they voted for.
Coming, soon, to a HUD near you...
The new wave of progressives always think they can make it a success because they are smarter.

This is hilarious. It neglects the simple fact that they cannot *make* successful people live next to losers. The successful people just bug out. Or if they are really determined to keep their homes, they hire an s-load of security so as soon as one of the losers puts a foot on the successful turf, it gets crushed.
Successful people are successful *precisely* because they don’t accept such socialistic b.s. to be foisted on them.
You can take the poor-entitled-disenfranchised-uneducated-lazy-irresponsible-dishonest-dumbass-slimeball out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the poor-entitled-disenfranchised-uneducated-lazy-irresponsible-dishonest-dumbass-slimeball.
DON’T LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD - LEVEL THE SCOREBOARD INSTEAD! Make hard work meaningless by giving to those who don’t work the rewards of those who do and force those who work to pay for it. Couldn’t happen to a better place than NYC - liberal chickens coming home to roost.
“affordable housing”
A euphemism for taxpayer subsidized.
If moving poor into the middle class neighborhood is a good thing wouldn’t moving the poor instead into the rich liberal areas of town be a GREAT thing???

Same thing happened in my neighborhood through govt subsidized home loans. Had a nice neighborhood started but it has gone downhill.
From getting our home burglarized, the pimp mobiles, gangs, and hostility its become a crappy place to live.
So what is the difference between this and the old “Block busting” of the late 1950s in which a realtor would sell a house in a white area to a Black family?
The whites then would vote with their feet, sell or abandon their houses and move away, the area then would become a black slum.
Now it appears the government is doing the realtor’s job of blockbusting.
