As much as I loathe Hochul's Nimbysm I can't say I really loved this tower tbh. I hope a very tall, much better looking building goes here.
Yeah this comes with the turf when your dealing with the state. If anything it really is just to look good on paper. Affordable housing, expensive city, the perception of people... all factors.

If this site was positioned on Central Park South, you bet their would be an affordable component. Just comes with the turf.

And I'm all for affordable housing and if they are going to do it, do it right. A ton of it but also provide whoever develops this the incentive to build bigger, denser and recoup the costs.
