The controversial Soho Business Improvement District has been downscaled following resident uproar over how expensive it would be. The BID's budget is now 21 percent smaller, and co-op owners will no longer have to fork over vastly larger sums than their condo-owning neighbors?instead, everyone will pay $1/year to fund the BID. So is all well now in Soho? Um, no. Opponents say many area residents never received the community survey on which they could have expressed concerns about the BID, but they've found other ways to share their opposition. [Crain's]
