New York's Robert Moses Moment
New York News Network
Here's a local-development story that we missed a few weeks ago, but thought that it would be of interest to our readers.
New York City is having a Robert Moses moment at a time when real estate is hotter than Wall Street, and residents love their respective communities so much that they want to preserve them as much as possible.
On the far West Side of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, residents acknowledge the inevitability, and even the need, for development. But they are vehemently opposed to what they see as mega projects they say are imposed from above - from a citywide development vision of breathtaking scope proposed by the Bloomberg administration.
