Strycker's Bay Neighborhood Council v. Karlen, 444 U.S. 223 (1980)
Held: The Court of Appeals erred in concluding that, when the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) considered alternative sites before redesignating a proposed site for middle-income housing as one for low-income housing it should have given determinative weight to environmental factors such as crowding low-income housing into a concentrated area and should not have considered the delay that would occur in developing an alternative site as an overriding factor. Once an agency has made a decision subject to the procedural requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the only role for a court is to insure that the agency has considered the environmental consequences; it cannot interject itself within the area of discretion of the executive as to the choice of the action to be taken. Here, there is no doubt that HUD considered the environmental consequences of its decision to redesignate the proposed site for low-income housing, and the Act requires no more.

RENEWAL OF THE WEST SIDE A SLOW-MOVING STORY
It was 1958, and at City Hall, Robert F. Wagner, in his fifth year as Mayor, launched New York City's own West Side story - an ambitious and pioneering urban renewal plan covering 20 slum blocks, from 87th to 97th Street and Amsterdam Avenue to Central Park West.

U.S. ENDS ITS ROLE IN WEST SIDE RENEWAL
¶ The Federal Government has informed Mayor Koch that it is ending its 22-year supervision of the West Side Urban Renewal Plan in Manhattan.
¶ The decision, not yet formally announced, means that construction can begin immediately on two housing developments on Columbus Avenue between 88th and 89th Streets. One is a 168-apartment project for senior citizens; the other is a 114-apartment building with rental units priced at market rates.
