One Small Step For Stopping Over-Development
Brooklyn Downtown Star
By Phil Guie
The New York Community Council has a lot of work ahead, and not much time to get it done.
As such, the group spent its inaugural session outlining activities for the next few months, during which time they intend to mobilize against perceived over-the-top development.
While most attendees at last Wednesday's meeting on East 4th Street in Cooper Square represented Manhattan's Lower East Side, a few Brooklynites turned up to show outer-borough solidarity. They included Lucy Koteen and Daniel Goldstein of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB), which is currently fighting the Atlantic Yards Project in the downtown area, and of course, Williamsburg resident Philip DePaolo, who started the community council.
