“When we house owners decided to buy property in the revision, we were told that Charan Five was planned for 85 additional single-family for separate homes, as we were buying. Now Gringer is asking us to build a total of 224 units instead of 85, which we were told, now there is no mention of the senior provision of 55-Plus, ”Pisapia wrote. “This is completely unacceptable.”
