Sounds like something this board would love hearing about.

'Poor door' approved for NYC condo building

Another example of preferential treatment for the poor.







Yes, I read the article.

Yes it is very Germans. If you post a picture of the NYC condo they are talking about, along with the location, I don't think ANY of us would care about using a "poor door" if we got to live there. Its in the middle of NYC, right by the water and the poor condos are only like $300,000 IIRC, which is like 1/10th of the price they should be.


ETA: Here is pic, its a brand new building on the upper east side and they are whining about what door they have to use?

However, I think I get it... make everyone poor so that the poor door is no longer racist.

Under Extell’s plans for the low-income units, a studio will go for $845 a month, a one-bedroom for $908, and two-bedrooms for $1,099.

Fat cats living in the condos will pay more than $1,000 per square foot. At The Aldyn, Extell’s 40-story luxury building next door, one-bedrooms sell for a whopping $1.3 million. A six-bedroom, eight-bath pad goes for $15.9 million


The 2 bedrooms are only $1099, in a BRAND NEW building RIGHT on the Hudson River. That is EASILY a 1.5- 2 million dollar condo and they get to live there for $1099 a month. SIGN ME UP and make me use any door you want, I would pack my shite and move there TOMORROW!!!

Sounds like he is getting a benefit from it. Guessing lower property taxes

If poor people are offended by using the poor door then they can move to a building without one, but I bet when push comes to shove they'd rather stay

No shite!!!! I would move into one of those 2 bedrooms tomorrow and use the poor door, even if the rent was doubled I would be on my way from AZ later today! Hell, I might just find a roommate and end up getting paid to live there.

Is there some kind of health risk involved in using the same door? I mean, I wouldn't want anyone to catch the po'.
