Feds eye New York building sale at housing projects

New Yorks top federal housing official said on Tuesday the city's cash-strapped
Housing Authority should consider selling buildings in expensive neighborhoods to
create more apartments elsewhere.
"It may displace some people, and that is a concern," Sean Moss, the regional
administrator for the federal Housing and Urban Development Department, said at a
forum on the Housing Authority's future.
"That is not necessarily a bad thing if you can create more housing with that," Moss
said. "Instead of having 300 units [in a project], maybe there is a way to increase
that if they are able to ... sell those assets so that you can create more housing."
