I am only posting on this to clarify that Prospect
Park did not violate any NRP rules. There is no
policy or law that exists within the NRP that requires
any individual neighborhood to meet the 52.5% housing
requirement.
Again I will state that as a program NRP has a legal

Sometime back, I said that I thought that the statute creating the NRP was

In response, Greg Luce said that he didn't think it was all that clear and

I wonder what it would take for those who support this kind of measure to

Mr. Luce points out that if a section 8 tenant is "evicted" for damage
