Hudson Yards & TIF Financing
How Hudson Yards, the 7-train extension, and TIF-type financing rearranged public money in New York City — and what that teaches about who development is designed for.

Why it matters here
Understanding these instruments is a design literacy. It informs how we structure our own funding — transparent, earmarked, and reinvested.
