TLDR; H4H, in an effort to grow their public profile, took a federal grant to develop affordable housing in an ill-suited neighborhood with low vacancy rates which in turn forced them to acquire properties from a shady landlord who may have illegally pressured tenants to vacate. Pressure to meet the grant requirements led to disregard of objections raised by concerned parties within the group.

Lol...so true ;)

That is the fundamental problem with Brooklyn, though. The vast majority of housing is hugely inefficient. Ugly little two-story apartment buildings where you could have a really nice 5-6 story building instead.
