Last time we visited 'East Chelsea,' residents were fighting for the community board to turn an empty lot at 136 West 20th Street into a park rather than the planned affordable housing. Update: they're still fighting. The board voted in favor of affordable housing for the spot in January, and now City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is trying to make everybody happy by finding an alternative site, perhaps an unfinished development that could qualify for HARP.
