Supersizing Brooklyn brings downsizing of stables

The developers are coming, the developers are coming!

Overdevelopment is coming to a neighborhood near you:
* Red Hook IKEA
* Downtown Brooklyn
* Prospect Heights/Ft. Greene, Ratner Arena and 17-High Rise Towers
* DUMBO
* Williamsburg-Greenpoint rezoning
* High-rise Condos in the Brooklyn Bridge Park
* South-South Slope

And now, developers are trading in the Little Grey Barn in Kensington for an eight-story as-of-right 100-something-unit condo.

Get the scoop on Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn about the downsizing of Kensington Stables.

NoLandGrab: Trading in a barn where generations of city kids have learned to ride and work with horses reminds us that sometimes the "best use" of a city lot is not that which yeilds the highest floor-area ratio.
