1.6M more sq. feet (value: $320M?) sought, said to make project & affordability viable, but low-income units not priority. Changes could mean faster buildout. Would bulk increase be just 20%? (Nope.)
“Feasibility”, is a distrustful word at this site. Are they building the affordable units first? Or will they wait till it’s not economically feasible and bail out of the responsibility. I wonder.
Norman, thanks so much as always for your comprehensive reporting on this. We residents truly appreciate the updates!
I'll never use the new name. They are rail Yards on Atlantic Avenue. There is no Park, and the Pacific is 2,500 miles away.
Agreed that Pacific Ocean is far away, but they did claim to be relating to Pacific Street, a relatively minor street compared to Atlantic Avenue.
Fair enough, I had forgotten that.

No timetable is promised, nothing set in stone... it's an outline, but they have set the parameters. The devil will be in the details, of course.
