Commodore Perry complex set for radical remake in one of biggest redevelopments in Buffalo's history

The boarded-up brick buildings of the long-derided Commodore Perry apartments are poised to come down, set to give way to more modern apartments that would transform the public housing project from the 1950s in one of the biggest redevelopment efforts in the city's history.

If you read the article you will see that up to 6 BEDROOM units will be available.

Now I don't have a 6 bedroom house nor a need for one but I sure as hell don't want to pay for one ( taxes) either.

Good news. There was an artist rendering pictures of what it could be. That's the kiss of death it's never going to happen now.

Why?
Business can't get employees let alone ones that work for $15/hr.
Stop the free this that and other.

The new people that moved in across from me need a 6 bedroom and the apartment is probably only 3 bedrooms. There are three cars there with 4-5 adulation and probably that many kids as well.

I can understand the need, but this is public housing. If the family requires 6 bedrooms in public housing there is a greater problem we are all paying for.

So these will be successful this time?

Absolutely not. I find it interesting and cyclical that policies created start the need for public housing therefore it gets built, which creates greater need for public subsidies, which creates dependence on greater public housing......all run by those who, if left to thier own devices, could run out of sand in the Sahara desert in 5 years.

Last time I drove by there I thought I had accidentally driven to Syria.

Most of the buildings are torn down and just open green grass fields left these days. I grew up in the Valley 1 mile from there. Even in its heyday of vileness I had no problem walking right in the middle of it. Used to walk Perry street to the aud for Sabres games and Concerts. I had my safety ticket - the name Willie McCutchen! haha inside story for that time. He ran the place you could say, I went to good ole South Park with him.

The old blood of the 1st Ward will fight this tooth and nail, it will not happen as they want.
