Summer 2003

Recently, Neil Fabricant and our lawyers met with Laurence Gluck and his lawyers. We are at the very early stages of negotiations -- just figuring out where things stand. As soon as we have something meaningful to report, we will report it to you.

Until now, landlords have been taking massive taxpayer investments in Mitchell-Lama housing and converting them to private profit deals--with a small bone thrown to the people whose homes are at stake. We are determined that it won’t happen here.

We received an e-mail message from a tenant who lives in a Mitchell-Lama development in Brooklyn [Middaugh Apartments]. Here is an excerpt:

”FYI. There have been new developments in our situation--we are all being evicted at 20 Henry St. No leases, no rentals, only a full-building eviction plan. If it can happen to us, it can happen to anyone as the landlords and politicians eventually strip away all the City's rent regulations.      --Anita & Jim”

This is war! We are drawing a line in the sand between politicians who are helping us -- and phonies who are getting away with gestures to appease tenants while collecting contributions from real estate developers.
