Nothing to see here. Talking about affordable housing is boring. I’m confident the developers will totally build affordable housing. Why wouldn’t they?
Anyway, Tim Tebow is starting in the outfield tomorrow so focus on that and definitely don’t read the piece below that was in the Queens Chronicle. We here at Mets Police are 100% confident the affordable housing is a priority.
