Burden: The Bloomberg Administration "committed to preserving neighborhood character"
DDDB.net
The City Council has fixed arcane zoning laws, now protecting Carroll Gardens from overdevelopment. Bravo.But in the Times's coverage of the Council vote, City Planning Commissioner Amanda Burden offered this whopper:
New Limits on Builders in an Area of Brooklyn...Ms. Burden said the change in the Carroll Gardens zoning rules demonstrated the Bloomberg administration’s commitment to preserving neighborhood character.
That's excepting Prospect Heights, West Harlem, Willets Point, Queens West, Coney Island, the Bronx's Macombs Dam Park area, Jamaica, the Lower East Side, Downtown Brooklyn, etc. etc...
