This development was not developed with the pre-existing residents in mind. The median income requirements calls that fact out immediately (not affordable housing). Large developments like this should be required to provide 10% of each size units at the existing neighborhood median, holding that cost for a minimum 10 years, by the local community boards and block associations.
