The community board is requiring Extell to mix its affordable housing units in with the market rate luxury units throughout its new building 70 Charlton. No "poor door" like they did at 70 Riverside Park. Do the affordable units also get the high end finishes or do they get Walmart sinks and bathtubs while their literal next door neighbor gets marble imported from Italy?
Speaks to the idiocy of this program that they're producing 29 "affordable" units in a building that could have fully sold at market prices, and then used that money towards a new non-luxury building to house 100 families instead of 29.

At the Riverside building, the poor apartments get under-window HVAC, while the market-rate have something fancier. Don't know about finishes, but room sizes are about the same as the market-rate.
