These people admitted that they didn't believe what the MTA was saying in 2004. As I said, I feel bad that they're being forced out, but they had a chance to be a little proactive about this.

The MTA told them in 2004 that this subway line would be built this time; it’s been pretty much a reality since then. These residents chose not to find housing on their own and are now up a creek without a paddle. I’m sympathetic to their plight, but at the same time, they had three years to find suitable housing. There was no affordable housing on the UES in 2004 just like there is no affordable housing on the UES in 2007! Where else should that man find a 605/month 1br? Re:
