Not in my HUGE back yard! 156-unit low-income housing project sparks outrage in billionaire's playground Nantucket - where Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman and former Secretary of State John Kerry spend their summers
Plans to build an affordable housing project on Nantucket, Surfside Crossing, were first submitted in April 2018, and have been hotly contested ever since
Developers want to create 156 homes on a 13.5-acre site, with 70 percent designated for people who live on the island year-round They said 15 of the homes and 24 of the condos would be sold for between $261,000 and $373,000, but locals say the island cannot support the building
View comments Plans to build an affordable housing complex in Nantucket remain in limbo after locals objected to the scheme, insisting the affluent island does not have the infrastructure or resources for the development.
Surfside Crossing promised 156 homes on the 13.5-acre site, with 70 percent designated for people who live on the island year-round.
On an island where a 5,075- square-foot home recently went for $33 million, and where John Kerry and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman spend their summers, securing housing for those working in tourism or the local economy is a perennial challenge.
Local developers Jamie Feeley and Josh Posner, who previously constructed an award-winning 40-home affordable housing project on the island called Beach Plum Village, said that their proposal was the answer.
Most people on the island think affordable housing is the No. 1 problem facing it,' said Posner.

You would think those fat rich bastards would want a place for their cooks, nannys, butlers to live. And their sommeliers too!
BUILD IT!
This is going to happen everywhere except next door to the people running Deep State.
Not too bad for the servants and concubines.
300K is affordable?
That’s not free housing for migrants, nor affordable for riff raff.
It goes to show how the elitists view the average working person.
but locals say the island cannot support the building
****
Well, we don’t want it to capsize.
They do. I’ve seen where on the Cod. Crammed into little rooms in little strip motels.
And none of those champagne socialists and limousine libs on the Cod have a problem with that.
Exactly, where do the servants and staff live?
But the ‘low income’ housing may be purchased by blue collar families. The uber-rich do not want these people around either.
Don’t have the infrastructure?
Then tax the rich then build it!
That’s how the rich liberals say the rest of America has to do it.
It’s starting a couple miles from our place. Land has been cleared, so it won’t be long.
...but locals say the island cannot support the building.
Paging Hank Johnson....
I feel for folks who own a nice home anyywhere.
As long as Deep State is in power there is no such thing as private property.
And a note to folks who think they can escape this by moving to a red state...
I hate to break this to you but EVERY red state in the nation is just one stolen election away from disaster.
The servant class on Nantucket has to have some where to live!
The maids, the groundskeepers, the cooks, the carpenters and other tradesmen etc....
But NO, we doan want any blue collar slime roun’ heah.
261-373 this is low income, How about section 8 housing or load up the surrounding hotels and motels with illegals better yet set up tents on the beach for the homeless drug addicts
This is the result of Obama’s HHS department ruling of racial equity in every zip code.
Yeah you didn’t vote for it? Did you?
Most live in. This is about equity.
One of those centers where drug addicts shoot up would be a nice addition to ‘the island’.
Why shouldn’t the John Kerry white trash ‘elites’ types get to live with the choices they make for the rest of us?
BUILT IT.
