And that's the point essentially. Practical. Thing that people must understand with NYC developments is that not all of them will be winners. We have 70,000-80,000 people moving in yearly, over 50,000 units u/c or coming online, and we can't expect every tower ranging from high to mid to low to be winners. First and foremost comes profit. If they can make money off it, its golden. Some will take the extra step to make it nice, but when dealing with affordable housing, and a development which focuses heavily on it, we will not get the ultra-luxury touch that we see with some Brooklyn condos or Manhattan rentals with 10-20 units for the whole tower.
