Paterson's Affordable Housing Ads
Three days after the New York Times reported that Representative Charlie Rangel rents four rent-stabilized apartments in Harlem, Rangel's neighbor, Governor David Paterson, unveiled this public service announcement on the topic of housing for non-rich people, featuring actor Edward Norton, and two others featuring former Giant Tiki Barber and former Met (briefly) Mo Vaughn.
Paterson’s office said the ads began airing on July 14. In an press release announcing the ads, Paterson’s office said the objective is “to promote the continued development of affordable housing in communities throughout New York State. The PSAs are part of a larger campaign – Affordable Housing Works – which touts attractive and high quality affordable housing developments across New York State.”

Enterprise is helping landlords and developers on the West Side to evict tenants. Just another poverty pimp.
How completely weird. I guess we know that Paterson is happy to carry water for developers. But does he think this ad is going to convince any New Yorkers that they aren't being pushed out of their homes?
And did we taxpayers pay for producing this transparent plug for developers?
Yeah right! Affordable Housing = ghetto low income ppl who bring their drug dealing siblings to sell drugs to their own ppl. then...trash the place by dumping their takeout leftover chinese food by the staircase; Also having their unsupervised lugrats all over the bldg at all hours of the night destroying everything in sight!!! You know the deal etc,etc,etc!!!
