The post-war housing project Stuyvesant Town was controversial from the beginning. It was built for veterans and the middle class and displaced several thousand residents that lived in a low-rise, tenement style, mixed-use neighborhood. Corresponding opposing visions of the cities former “master-builder” Robert Moses and the urban writer and activist Jane Jacobs towards city building and urban space resonate with many New Yorkers today. And what is about Stuyvesant Town today? It evolved into a property grab for the overheated real estate market and is one of the front lines for rent control battles in NYC.
So who will be able to afford living there in 2050? Maybe you and your family?
