NY Court Gives Green Light to Affordable Housing Plan by Razing SoHo Garden

The New York court ruled against neighborhood petitioners fighting to save Elizabeth Street Garden.
The decision allows the city to proceed with building affordable senior housing on the site of the garden.
The garden was transformed into a public space 10 years ago but the land is owned by the city.
While the new development will reduce open space, the city plans to build a smaller park as part of the project.
The garden group plans to appeal the ruling to the state's highest court in a last effort to save the green space.
