"I won't be able to hang a wreath at christmas without calling the DOB..." Sigh. Most blocks like Union between Smith and Hoyt, directly behind the landmarked blocks, is so dirty and hit and miss, it will never happen there. I actually live on that block and just discovered that MY building already has landmark status. What people don't get is if the building they live in is landmarked, they don't have to revert the building to the way it was in 1898..duh! My landlord has probably violated 1 million things if that were the case. Even after the landmarking info meeting people were confused. Look, what ever is happening we should be glad it's happening now.

We're actively working that separately and I'm hoping we can score on that front too.garyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13945477091555708601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128540034619056803.post-8210013099040955372008-01-30T08:22:00.000-08:002008-01-30T08:22:00.000-08:00No offense taken, though as I noted <A HREF="http://www.brooklyn11211.com/11211side/2008/01/000291" REL="nofollow">here</A>, you might be careful what you wish for.Haldenhttp://www.brooklyn11211.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128540034619056803.post-40667806456710288032008-01-30T07:25:00.000-08:002008-01-30T07:25:00.000-08:00Thanks Bill Di! Let's spend a year studying this as developers rape Carroll Gardens, and you focus on your and Hillary's election.<BR/><BR/>A quick and easy fix is for Bill Di to file a (non-ULURP) zoning text amendment to define the places of Carroll Gardens as non-wide streets! <BR/><BR/>Rezoning will not happen before these project are built - where has Bill Di been for the past six years?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128540034619056803.post-48130507025137487012008-01-30T05:38:00.000-08:002008-01-30T05:38:00.000-08:00Don't worry, Gary, we know what you meant. I like Williamsburg, too. Always have. and Greenpoint. I think we have the luxury, perhaps, of not having scores of industrial space with price tags on them. 340 Court and the subway plaza are the open doors and we must control what goes there. Thanks to everyone at the rally and all our great advocacy groups. Short & Happy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
