Speaker Quinn spoke on behalf of a number of Council Members in response to Bershire LLC's purchase of the Starrett City housing development in Brooklyn, stating "We are anxious to see Berkshire's plan for preserving affordability at Starrett City. Losing nearly 6,000 apartments from the City's affordable housing stock would be a blow to the families of Starrett City, and would severely worsen our already desperate citywide shortage of affordable housing."
