The quote:

>>“The tenants are going to insist that the owners work directly with them and with the city to develop a responsible plan to protect the long-term affordability of the place,” City Councilman Dan Garodnick, a lifelong resident of Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, said in an interview this week. “The ownership has changed more times in the last handful of years than it had since its creation and tenants want to see this issue resolved for good.”<<

The deal became official Tuesday, October 20th, with word about it coming a day and even two days earlier.

Purposefully deceitful.
He covered up the dorms and chopping to increase the unit values.
He covered up the toxic construction debris to keep the property price high.
Purposefully deceitful.

Very good catch STR. It appears, if DG was being honest, that he had no prior knowledge of this deal. I actually wouldn't be surprised though. He's entirely irrelevant.

I'm ambivalent about Garodnick, but where's the evidence for either ignorance or deceit? Probably in his mind the Blackstone deal preserves long-term affordability and resolves the issue of ownership.

Conflicted, double talking Dan lying out of both sides of his mouth is purposefully deceitful.

“Council Member Dan Garodnick, who, along with the Tenants Association and the mayor, was very involved in the negotiations, echoed the sentiment. He also told T&V that while the current plan didn’t include a conversion, Blackstone has said it would be open to the idea.”

10/17 - Mayor de Blasio hands PCVST to Blackstone claiming he preserved PCVST affordability for 5,000 theoretical tenants that don't exist. Dan is uninformed and out of the loop. As always, Dan pretends to insist PCVST tenants have active input when he never intended for PCVST tenants to have active input.

10/21 - Dan was very involved in negotiations that deliver NOTHING for his living, breathing PCVST neighbors/constituents and NOTHING for his corporate owner, major REBNY predator Brookfield.

These past few days Dan was caught lying to everyone all the time.
