2/2 Of 2,173 residents, 1,591 are eligible to vote. Of that 20% must vote for the choice to be valid - about 318 voters. Then within that small number whichever choice gets the majority - the Trust, private management via RAD or just staying public housing - wins.

NYPD claimed disclosure would be "unduly burdensome," but Judge Frank ruled that's not enough to justify keeping this critically important data secret. As Legal Aid lawyer Benjamin Burger noted, @NYCMayor is increasingly relying on high-tech in policing.
