One new Manhattan skyscraper will greet residents of pricey condos with a lobby in front, while renters of affordable apartments that got the developer government incentives must use a separate side entrance — a so-called poor door. In another apartment house, rent-regulated residents can't even pay to use a new gym that's free to their market-rate neighbors. Other buildings have added playrooms and roof decks off-limits to rent-stabilized tenants.I imagine the doors well at least replace Arbeit Macht Frei with the respective terms "takers" and "makers".

sounds like a lot of pardon me's and quiet rides to the top.
