If Bill de Blasio stands for one thing, it's the notion that co-location is unfair, because it means people who aren't as well off having to share space with those who have more resources.
Or does he?
When it comes to charter public schools, it's true he's pushing for a moratorium on precisely these grounds — that the arrangement is inherently unjust. And he has made this a central talking point in his war against charter kids. But it's also true that when it comes to affordable housing, he applies the opposite principle.
That's one of the less-noticed takeaways from the mayor's intervention in the Domino Sugar development. Under the agreement reached during the Bloomberg years, the developer was to reserve 660 of the 2,300 units for "affordable housing." After pressure from de Blasio, the developer agreed to build 700 of these units.
Now, if the developer had been allowed to build affordable apartments at some other site, he could have built many more units. But the mayor wants them co-located at the Domino site.
In other words, the mayor is all for co-location so long as he's forcing it on the private sector. Too bad he refuses to make the even stronger case for forcing public schools to make space for public charters.
