The new wave of progressives always think they can make it a success because they are smarter.

In MA a few decades ago, there was some law that every new development had to have a certain percentage of low income homes. Not a problem.....they were clustered together on the least desirable land, away from the rest of the development. I'm assuming the law was forgotten after awhile.
What they're doing in NYC is just plain dumb. The only cities that survive are those that have sections that are comprised of exclusively middle class or upper-tier neighborhoods. When those areas cease to exist, the residential taxpayer base disappears, and the jobs follow the residents out of the city.
