So, certainly better then what was proposed before, but still a very clear cut case of segregation based on income. If you are getting assistance in paying for your housing costs you'll live on the lower floors. But you'll get to look at the rich folk as they pass through the lobby. Any reason to think that the quality on the construction won't be the same on the upper and lower floors.
Equal justice for all, but unequal housing.

You all seriously need to something better to complain about than separate sets of elevators. It's not unusual for lower and upper floors of buildings to have their own elevator bank, and it probably makes even more sense when the lower floors are for seniors. This is a good project, and it will serve many groups and demographics well.
