that da tennants are DISCOURAGED from using...
those are da service entrances that are used for freight, not to wisk patrons in and out da building effectively.
Condo developers build separate entrances for lower income residents

So you're saying UPS drivers and maintenance workers = low income tenants?

I'm sorry but I don't see the problem here. I understand why it seem racially motivated and people want to talk about segregation, but I don't believe it is. When you pay X amount of money for something you have a certain level of expectations. If you guys move to the burbs and find out they are building a low income housing project/development nearby you woudn't be happy about that. If they said they will build something to divide you and yours from them I'm sure you wouldn't object to that either. I dbout the home owners are going to be out there protesting.
The problem here isn't race but social standing. Everyone who is on public assistance isn't bad, or lazy or a thug, but there are those who are. The stigma attached to that is negative, and in most cases warranted. They aren't paying the same rent so why should they have the same benefits and amenities? Where is the segregation? It can't be segregation when the low income families have no interest in going to the upper level floors.
It's like buying a car. If you can only afford the base model with the cloth seats, and no ac. Please don't complain that you don't have leather seats, satelite radio and all the other bells and whistles the higher models have.

I thought it was common that employees werent to be seen by the residents in lobby areas and such? When you think about it is it really a bad thing. That is your place of employment, but their place of residence. If you have no business in certain areas then you shouldn't be there. As a resident, I wouldn't want to see employees in common areas if they dont need to be there.
The fact that the employees are all black is the same as the low income families being black and/or latino. With a situation like that, race is always going to be the first thing people argue about, but race isnt the driving force behind the decisions.

This thread has taken two fronts
1. Employees back entrance
2. Separate entrances for tenants depending on income.

1. Makes perfect sense.
2. No problem with it. Tenants don't like it, make more money and quit relying on your fellow citizens to subsidize your housing.

You're giving the wrong example, in that situation said poor people would be living in that gated community. So what are you saying, they shouldn't be allowed to drive through a gate to their residence like everybody else?
If the landlord didn't think he was doing something wrong, why isn't it written in the lease?

It's not even about race. If said higher income people dont want to live around lower income people, why not find a different condo then with no subsidized housing? You guys are assuming low income means grafitti on the walls and weed stinking up the place/ They're already segregating the low income apts from the regular income, now you want them to come in through different entrances.

Exactly people hear certain key words and assume things, which is ignorant in itself. I just looked up the some of the requirements and it said salary 30-40K. Doesn't a damn RN make 40K in NY? So a RN is living off the system by trying to find reasonable housing? She should have to walk through a different entrance

I mean, I kinda get it. I suspect a lot of people in this thread are saying this is wrong because that's the politically correct thing to say. Lemme put out a scenario, would you let homeless people congregate in front of your building on the street?

every time I'm in Florida I see these "PLANNED COMMUNITIES" that make me cringe.
they separate them by small ranch homes, medium homes, then gated off/secluded larger homes.
same thing to me, they need to separate us so we pretend we're paying for some kind of atmosphere/experience.

Except those employees in New York are predominantly Eastern European now.
That's a strange assumption on your part.

That's convenient, so you don't want homeless people around you but point fingers at others who don't want poor people around them? Ok buddy.

Yes I used an example of an extreme to point out the hypocrisy of some people in this thread. I can't knock anyone for not wanting people you consider a class lower than you to not be in the same vicinity.

Just for the record: I know two RNs that work at Columbia Presbyterian and make ~$95K/year. Both have less than 5 years of experience. An RN working in upstate NY will probably make $40-50K starting out, but starting salaries are generally $55-65K/year on Long Island and even more in the city.Exactly people hear certain key words and assume things, which is ignorant in itself. I just looked up the some of the requirements and it said salary 30-40K. Doesn't a damn RN make 40K in NY? So a RN is living off the system by trying to find reasonable housing?

But I digress...
