The New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal announced that it will not have to cease subsidizing fifteen affordable-housing sites whose viability had been threatened by the economic downturn.

It’s good that they developed that last one; no abandoned building is sadder than one where rivers of delicious beer once flowed. [Brooklyn Eagle]
