Low-income housing initiatives that Mayor Michael Bloomberg introduced nearly five years ago have been less successful than the administration hoped, according to an analysis of city records by Gotham Gazette. Bloomberg's so-called inclusionary zoning program, designed to incentivize developers to create permanent low-income housing, has come up short, creating far fewer low-income units than expected. In 2005, the Bloomberg administration reportedly said that the rezoned neighborhoods would allow for 6,000 units of affordable housing. But today, even with more than a dozen new neighborhoods rezoned since, fewer than half that number of units have been created or preserved, according to the Department of Housing Preservation

NEW YORK – DJ AM, the stage name of disc jockey Adam Goldstein whose music could be heard on albums by Madonna and Will Smith, was found dead in his New York apartment on Friday, police said. He was 36.
Police said no foul play was suspected in the death of Goldstein, who socialized with Hollywood celebrities and in 2008 survived a plane crash with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker.
Media reports said Goldstein was found with prescription pill bottles near his body after he had not been heard from for days.
As a DJ, his work appeared on albums by Madonna, Will Smith, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Papa Roach. He performed at clubs in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and elsewhere.
With the band Crazy Town, Goldstein had the 2001 hit song “Butterfly” but the group broke up two years later.
He partnered with Barker of punk band Blink 182 last year to create a live DJ and drum performance and the duo played occasionally at clubs and other concert venues.
In September 2008, Goldstein and Barker were in a private plane that crashed while taking off from an airport in South Carolina. The two pilots and two passengers were killed.
Goldstein and Barker suffered serious burns and were hospitalized in critical condition.
Goldstein posted his last known public remarks on the social networking website Twitter on Tuesday when he wrote: “New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems.”
The words were lyrics from a song by Grandmaster Flash, a pioneer of hip-hop music.
Goldstein dated reality TV star Nicole Richie, to whom he was at one point engaged, and later went out with singer and actress Mandy Moore.
