Reply to comment by mp0295 in NY attorney general weighs in: Harlem truck depot could be illegal by ctnutmegger

She didn’t veto it. It never went to a vote, Teitelbaum pulled out when negotiations broke down before that even happened.

Because she vetoed any offer that wasn’t 100% affordable by her own metrics. Her logic seems to be that having zero affordable apartments is better than 900+. And now she gets a truck depot instead.

The thing is - Teitelbaum, if he was serious, should have kept his request in for a vote. He didn’t. If he did, he could point to it, he could make it a campaign issue in the neighborhood. Instead he pulled out and has lost any good will he might have had in community with this stunt.

I meant veto in a more soft-power sense -- I know she didn't veto in a legal sense. Like why not just go to the vote and outvote her.

Because the developer dropped out before it ever went to a vote.
