The Price of Bertha Lewis' Silence
Brownstoner notes that if Bruce Ratner "ends up not keeping up his end of the bargain to make half the units "affordable", all he has to do is pay [Bertha] Lewis' organization, Acorn, $500,000. A drop in the bucket to buy the silence of a woman who could have been a real thorn in his side."
An anonymous commentator adds, "Yes, I'm really interested to see how this plays out. He will make back the $500k on the first unit he sells that would have been an affordable one."
