The rowhouses will not be marked up and become million dollar properties like Harlem brownstones have. State reps are working in Harrisburg to come up with a property tax deferment bill (Senate Bill 1515 is it?). You do not have to leave your neighborhood and you shouldn't if you want to enjoy the benefits that this development brings. If Ori has the attitute that he is a "pioneer" and is saving the neighborhood then I can understand long-time residents being miffed at that. But development that fixes up long time vacant properties and builds on vacant lots is a good thing in the end."—daveydoo [Update on Lotgate—Now With More Video]
