#MapMondays — Gerrymandered map from @citylab showing how Hudson Yards was able to qualify for at least $1.2 billion in EB5 funding meant for jumpstarting investment in distressed or impoverished areas. But Hudson Yards is the most expensive real-estate development in US history, surrounded by Midtown to the east and the Highline and Chelsea to the south, so how did it qualify as distressed for a program that was supposed to help alleviate urban poverty? EB5 "enables immigrants to secure visas in exchange for [spending millions] in real estate investments. Foreigners who pump between $500,000 and $1 million into U.S. real estate projects can purchase visas for their families, making it a favorite for wealthy families abroad, namely in China." To qualify, the area had to meet an unemployment threshold of 150% of national unemployment. As the map shows, Hudson Yards was linked to districts in Harlem with a high concentration of public housing developments through a gerrymandered district that links the two with Midtown and Central Park. But #CentralPark is far from economically distressed? Citylab continues: "These funds might have financed alternative developments in #Harlem directly... Instead, Related sopped up hundreds of millions in funds never intended to finance luxury projects. The developer has successfully leveraged Harlem unemployment to raise more in EB-5 financing than any other developer in the nation. Related recently sought a third tranche of EB-5 funds for Hudson Yards, targeting $380 million—bringing the total as high as $1.6 billion." #mapmonday #hudsonyards #citylab #urbanpolicy #eb5 #eb5visa #realestate #hudsonyardsny #nyc #midtown #chelsea #thehighline #architecture #urbanism #nycrealestate #nycurbanism #hellkitchen #realestatedevelopment #manhattan #hudsonyardsnewyork #cartography #gerrymandering (at Hudson Yards New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwkpZ5NH921/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7t36mc31xccq

I'm sure we've all been there, one way or another. My version of a comic by StarFleetRambo (Demitasse-Lover).  Just wanted to show support to one of my favorite web comics, now known as The Boy Who Fell, which can be read here.  http://boywhofell.com/ Big thanks to Star for giving me permission to do this.  Original comic can be found here. demitasse-lover.deviantart.com…
