New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration is under fire for signing off on a building plan that allows a new luxury high-rise on Manhattan's western edge to have a separate entrance for low-income residents.

I wonder in the case of a fire if the Poor Door will be blocked so that the "proper people" will be allowed first use of elevators and stairs to exit.

1. Well let's just bring back the king and queens

Keep the peasants out of sight ya know.

How many battles and wars were started because of this type of thing. Not that one building will cause a war but is this the future of the have and have nots in America?

3. Bring Back?

The greatest myth in American history is that anything changed with the revolution. We just kicked one bunch of elitist white assholes out and gave the keys to the country to another group of elitist white assholes. The names and faces change but not much else. The elite and powerful own us, always have and always will.

4. UNREC

I have no problem with people objecting to the concept; but I see a myriad of posts by people who have no clue what the internal structure of the building is extrapolating all sorts of likely horrors of living there.
