I’d love to take a spin around Brush Park and see how it’s changed. Since it’s been years, I probably wouldn’t recognize it

It has entirely underground parking, the walkways are just that, walkways for pedestrians with a little bit of green space, it's not a solid block.I get what they are going for here, but I would favor a more traditional block with an alley down the middle. I don't want to see areas becoming full block building after full block building. City Modern kept the alleys at least somewhat intact.
I feel like what we'll see here is the back road acting as a defacto alley with parking coming off it.
IDK what the problem is here, this is an extremely high quality urban development.
High quality indeed! Let's keep it going
I know of many across NYC, and they've been very successful. Here's one that is 20% affordable housing and includes retail such as a Whole Foods and an Apple store.

I like this development too. The separate buildings, the walkways, especially the underground parking.
Wish it had ground floor retail, but a least it looks like it's designed so the ground floor can be easily converted to retail once they decide the market merits it. Underground parking permits that.

It does have ground floor retail... lol
Even better!

I'm also aware of affordable housing developments in Brooklyn. However, the income required for affordable housing if applied to metro Detroit would permit NYC tenants to rent the most expensive apartments in metro Detroit.
I've attached an article that discusses an affordable housing development in Brooklyn where a one bedroom apartment requires an income of more than $108,000 to $140,000 for a family of two to be considered affordable.

I'm guessing that the success of an affordable housing development is more assured if the household income of tenants is 4 or 5 times that of an average Detroit family.
Cost of living is obviously not the same at all so this is apples to oranges.
