NYC's Elizabeth Street Garden faces eviction for an affordable housing project despite community protests.

The cherished Elizabeth Street Garden in Little Italy, NYC, is at risk of eviction to make way for an affordable housing complex for low-income and formerly homeless seniors. The garden’s lease has expired, and despite legal challenges and community protests, the city plans to proceed with the construction. The garden’s operators have proposed alternative sites for the housing project, but unless an appeals court intervenes, the garden could be evicted soon.
