Westchester Agrees to Add Affordable Housing

Socialism is alive and well in Westchester.

"The agreement calls for the county to spend more than $50 million to build or acquire 750 homes or apartments, 630 of which must be provided in towns and villages where blacks constitute 3 percent or less of the population and Hispanic residents make up less than 7 percent. The county has seven years to complete the construction or acquisition of the affordable housing units.

Among the towns and villages in which blacks constitute less than 3 percent of the population and would theoretically be eligible for affordable housing under the settlement are Bedford, Bronxville., Eastchester, Hastings-on-Hudson, Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Castle, Pelham Manor and Scarsdale."

The average house in Bronxville< Scarsdale and Bedford > $1mm. Not a whole lot of affordable housing. Nothing to see here . . . move along.

An average of $67,000 per house/apt? Good luck with that.
