Worth noting that the "'hip looking' new mixed use 18-story building" is in the "downtrodden area of the Central Bronx" being considered for an overall rezoning.
who is going to live in that building? is this being built 20% "affordable" - which means 80% someone else or empty (!) - or is this to provide housing for the people who live in that area? this is a crucial question. let's not celebrate this project until that question is answered.
