Top Ten Reasons why Kensington is better than Park Slope
Kensington Stories
Kensington Stories blogger Ron Lopez included this curious item among the "reasons why Kensington is better than Park Slope" (debatable, but we do believe in pride of place) in a post last week:
4 We know that “ugly” train yard on Atlantic Avenue is actually ugly, and are not fooled by the “Develop don’t destroy Brooklyn” people.
NoLandGrab: We're not quite sure how DDDB is fooling anyone, and as far as we know, nobody ever said the train yard wasn't ugly. We're also pretty certain that neither DDDB nor yours truly would be around to fool people if Bruce Ratner had proposed building a project only above the 8.3-acre railyard. It's a safe bet that had Bruce and the ESDC targeted Mr. Lopez's Kensington community, they'd have found "blight" where Mr. Lopez sees a great neighborhood (is that lovely house pictured above built to at least 60% of its available Floor Area Ratio?).
