Our recent rally + appellate court case was heard, but we are still awaiting an update.Recently, there has been a disturbing flyer of misinformation circulated in the Two Bridges neighborhood and the adjacent NYCHA buildings, which claims that, “According to the current rules, the towers are legally allowed to be built in the future.” This is a blatant attempt to defend the City’s illegal approval of the towers when the community’s LESON (Lower East Side Organized Neighbors) lawsuit is still going on! It implies that the City has done nothing wrong and we should let them get away with destroying our community with luxury overdevelopment. Unsurprisingly, the flyer comes from supporters of Council Member Margaret Chin, who has been spreading the same lie for years while trying to approve the towers through the City Council’s land use process. The flyer also asks the community to support the so-called “Two Bridges Community Plan” that sets a height limit on development in ONLY the Two Bridges area. It purposefully leaves out that this so-called “community plan” is a small part of the much more comprehensive CWG plan that protects all of Chinatown and the Lower East Side, including NYCHA. Despite claiming this plan “was created by and for residents,” it conveniently ignores how the CWG plan was originally created. Read the full letter from the Coalition to Protect Chinatown and the Lower East Side here.
