Mayor Bloomberg traded in Bermuda for the South Bronx on Saturday, opting against his typical weekend jaunt to tout the 160,000 affordable-housing units created during his tenure.
Standing across the street from Via Verde, which brought 222 mixed-income units to the Melrose neighborhood when it opened in June 2012, Bloomberg defied critics who say he hasn’t done enough for the poor.
Bloomberg has only one more Saturday left to serve as mayor. His trip to The Bronx was the last stop on his five-day, five-borough legacy tour.
