Brooklyn has become so popular — and that's great — but not all development is smart development. Are builders knocking down perfectly sound homes in your neighborhood and then constructing significantly larger buildings next to one-, two- or three-family homes? Are contractors in your neighborhood respectful or abusive to neighboring properties and residents? Are you concerned about new buildings that don't fit with the character and scale of your neighborhood? The borough president has received a number of calls from residents worried about these issues. Others are concerned about parking, school overcrowding, strained city services, preserving natural light, or maintaining the affordability of their neighborhoods. Please come to one of our community forums where you will have the opportunity to discuss these issues and meet others who share your concerns. We encourage you to bring photos depicting sites you are concerned about in your neighborhood.
Please circulate this flier and announce this event.
