Separately, he tells Prospect Heights group that his priority is the promised affordable units. He's the only candidate to mention the project, but still isn't up to speed.
I’m remembering the days of 5th Avenue committee (1990’s) when they plastered the area along 5th avenue from Flatbush to 16thstreet with bogus large posters declaring an eviction free zone. As a small owner of a 3 family house I resented this antagonist approach that immediately heighten tensions between LL and tenants. And it appeared to be all a show for Lander political ambition. He never showed up at our local meetings a block from his office on 5th Ave to help us get a grip on the pay phone abundances that were used by crack dealers. We succeeded without him.
