Habitat Condos for Brownsville

Once again, I find myself envious of another neighborhood’s ability to get noticed by Habitat for Humanity. It seems Habitat (and 15,000 others!) is to build 41-unit green condominium in Brownsville, south of Bed-Stuy. This is in addition to the multifamily project they did in Bed-Stuy. All the “affordable housing” Bushwick seems to be getting are the monstrosities built by the Ridgewood-Bushwick Senior Citizen’s Council with no street presence whatsoever, and they are rentals to boot. I can’t for the life of me understand how cheap rent helps anyone out of poverty. But cheap mortgage, not to mention the responsibility of paying your own bills and keeping a house in shape? Yeah, I see that. Come on, RBSCC, get your act together. Better yet, team up with Habitat.

    RBSCC invites people to seminars regarding housing options, and i’ve been curious what they are about.
