OneHansonPlace.com, Boerum Hill condo sale
No discernible Atlantic Yards effect here. This 874 square foot condo is selling for a spritely $800 psf, at a price of $699K.

The Gowanus Lounge, Community Board 6 Holds First Post-Massacre Meeting
Community Board 6 held its first meeting since the Atlantic Yards/Gowanus Massacre by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and City Council Member David Yassky that ended the service of nine longstanding members.

The Board voted against the measure by a voted of 14-6 with a large number of abstentions.
