  • actually, it wasn't constructed as a luxury building. the building is like a century old and it was originally a social services oriented building. then it got condo'd. ironically, many of its tenants have led the fight against the demolition of next door building PS 64 / Charas-El Bohio. perhaps because they don't want to lose their views; perhaps because they recognize the bad process of which they are part; perhaps both.
  • Here, here.
