I know LOTS of professionals who make more than $50K by themselves. <br /><br />I think it sounds more "racist" for you to suggest that a household with two people of color can't pull down that kind of dough!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850750806594927202.post-85209332387010475052011-04-10T20:17:02.622-04:002011-04-10T20:17:02.622-04:00Stop being so racist.

I called in and spoke to ...I agree with anonymous. I called in and spoke to the Bronx Borough President, The Honorable Reuben Diaz, Jr., and expressed this same sentiment. The Bronx is overrun with poverty programs and prison re-entry programs and the likes that have quite successfully displaced the working middle class. <br /><br />The re-zoning of Webster Avenue could be a good thing. My concern is that whatever is built will be summarily destroyed by the locals. I am sure they will use it much like they use Bronx Park, for drug sales and use and other illicit activities. <br /><br />SO, re-zone and develop housing for people who, like anonymous said, earn in the $50K - $80K range. Then we can really see community revitalization instead of continued devastation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850750806594927202.post-59739250822107296862011-04-08T23:27:37.347-04:002011-04-08T23:27:37.347-04:00Great news for Norwood but my fear is that million...Great news for Norwood but my fear is that millions of dollars are going to be wasted in building no apartment buildings where ghetto section 8 tenants will move in and destroy it. The new buildings should raise their standards and rent to middle class folks (individuals earning 50K-80K a year). <br /><br />Not the current welfare/section 8 type of tenant population which Norwood has more than enough as is. In fact, the number of subsidized tenants moving to Norwood has increasd throughout the years. We want to stop that trend before Norwood becomes the new South Bronx!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
