Op-Ed: Housing, Not High-Rises
Briefly

The proposal to rezone the Arrow Linen site for 13-story luxury apartments faces opposition due to fears of displacing long-term residents, overshadowing affordable housing.
While some advocate for the economic benefits of new development, residents express concern over the rise of rent and the loss of affordable housing due to gentrification.
Residents fear that the new luxury apartments will cater to wealthier individuals, driving out current residents who rely on rent-stabilized housing for affordability.
Opponents argue that the city's 2005 rezoning law aims to ensure developments fit existing neighborhoods, suggesting that the proposed towers disrupt this balance.
