There is already affordable housing on the HY, that’s not really the issue. The issue is whether or not, this is the best site for it. And the answer is of course not. They didn’t extend an entire subway line to the west side of Manhattan to minimize development.

The main thing, even if you are desperate for the Peebles/Adjeye proposal, is that it doesn't really fit with Javits Center, either. What good does it do to have an ultra-luxury tower right outside the main entrance of the convention center? .
