Mayor Bill de Blasio and other officials denouncing “poor door” entrances for subsidized tenants in luxury buildings actually voted in favor of a measure that made such separation possible, a Post review found.
When the lengthy text of a zoning resolution was amended by the City Council in July 2009, then-Councilman de Blasio — who arrived late to the meeting — was among the majority who voted “Aye.”
One provision said developers of market-rate condos could include affordable units on site, instead of off site, while allowing for the separation of a number of services that included the entrances.

Miz Clinton ain’t taking in nobody no how, because, after all, her mom’ s not nowhere near tahred.
They’re all preposterous poseurs.
As someone has pointed out, these are not poor, inner-city people who are being bused into lux buildings, OK? And this is what developers negotiate with the city to get tax breaks. It goes on all over the country with developers. In all my years of living in NYC, I’ve never seen a drug-addicted poor black on food stamps living in a new, luxury apartment building. Middle-class people, maybe, but not the kind of people in your fantasy world.
This is no surprise. Commies/Progressives are natural elitists.
Liberal elites thought they were immune from rules they make for others... this is kind of funny...
