The City plans to attack economic segregation in its affordable housing plan placing the poor in middle-class neighborhoods and the more affluent in high-poverty spots.
Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Vicki Been said the plan to build 80,000 new affordable apartments and preserve 120,000 units would create a more diverse city.
We really have to make economic diversity a cornerstone of that plan, she said at a City Council budget hearing Wednesday.
That means that in some neighborhoods that have mostly middle or upper-income housing, that we would need to put affordable housing at the very lowest income, she said.
But in some communities where we have a great deal of poverty . . . we would try to bring more moderate (-income housing) into those neighborhoods, to try to achieve the kind of diversity that we want, Been said.
De Blasios executive budget boosted the housing departments capital cash to $3.1 billion, up from $1.9 billion in his January preliminary budget, to help pay for the ambitious proposal.

People naturally segregate themselves and race is only one basis of such segregation. The left cannot leave people alone. Give the left credit they never rest, they persist until everyone is forced into a sewer.(Except for themselves.)
I’m sorry, but the people of NYC deserve this. They voted for the scumbag.
What could possibly go wrong?
“Because every neighborhood needs its own ghetto. Mayor Wilhem won’t be happy until NYC turns into Detroit. “
that will be our gain nyc has been a liberal pimple on this country for to long. Now these rich lib fashionistas are going to see socialism from first hand. Serves them right.
What they are doing that for is to put Democrats in Republican voting districts.
expect more St. Skittles type of incidents
Move them to white yuppie leftist neighborhoods, and watch them scatter to the winds.
Absolutely. I'm just going to grab my popcorn and watch the fun.
“Go ahead, Bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots.”
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.
Let me tell you all a story about a man named...Pedro
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.
And you can bet there will be another Federal bailout of NYC.
I am firmly convinced if you gave each hoodrat a million dollars, a home, a job and a car, they'd be broke a year later.
Coming, soon, to a HUD near you...
OTOH, now the rich and middle class will only have to take the elevator to buy their grass.
The new wave of progressives always think they can make it a success because they are smarter.
