Parking lots?! Go the fuck ahead already and build on them, more market housing that is very much in demand in NYC. How the flying fuck are public housing residents in New York City able to afford to use parking lots anyways? I hate to sound like a heartless conservative for once but I would be pretty upset if I was struggling to pay for a market rate tiny studio apartment in NYC when public housing residents are using my money to get free (or subsidized?) parking. This does raise a serious question I have, does the massive rent control and public housing in NYC contribute to the traffic levels that it does had by having people who pay deflated housing costs able to afford cars that most New Yorkers cannot?
