I don't recall the name of the development, but it's large built with white brick. It's clear and blatant racism.<BR/><BR/>That the community's housing needs are being met is less a testament to interested, enlightened developers than to the neighborhood's political clout. They vote en mass for the rabbi's candidate of choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460866155520664387.post-41904761062103808962007-12-26T10:15:00.000-08:002007-12-26T10:15:00.000-08:00"How can that be legal?" Try some logical thinking..."How can that be legal?" Try some logical thinking before you make a post. Its a community of orthodox Jews. They have specific needs in order to practice their religion. Like two kitcen sinks to seperate meat plates from fish, etc. They arent restricting the housing to only Jews. Muslims could buy their if they felt inclined. They design the buildings to fit their most likely client.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460866155520664387.post-18985236607678344822007-12-25T17:07:00.000-08:002007-12-25T17:07:00.000-08:00Looks like the black community could use a develop...Looks like the black community could use a developer like Isaac Hager. He is a developer that has produced ultra high priced condos. <BR/>Now he is developing a lower income housing project that meets the needs of the community and respects the surrounding environment.<BR/>His condos or rentals will be affordable AND will be no higher than 7 stories when he is allowed to build as high as 20 stories.<BR/>What is Thor Industries doing for the black community? Bulldozing Coney Island and developing ultra high end housing that only the richest of buyers can afford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
