Reply to comment by Luke90210 in NYC tenants report rampant housing discrimination by landlords over vouchers by DrogDrill

So let's fund more public/affordable housing. Let's build the housing and when it gets proposed actually build it instead going "well that apartment would be near a really pretty park...so we should just not build it." The NIMBYism in NYC from landlords that also deny section 8 is pathetic.

I like the idea of more public housing. However, most of public housing construction was funded by the federal government. They don't do that sort of thing anymore. NYCHA loses money as the rents are set up as a percentage of income driving anyone making a solid income away. And NYCHA is poorly managed.

The NIMBYism is a hard barrier in my eyes. There have been dozens of proposals for even private development that have been shot down for being too close to this, or being seen from that.
