The NIMBYs have been fighting plans for smaller towers in the area, so they'll be out in force against this.

Yeah I could see a big fight over this. The ussual "to big for the city". "Overshadowing Brownstones"... that sort of rubbish.
But its a healthy amount of affordable units. Folks are always bitchin' about prices, yet when affordable units are proposed, they shun it. Can't win, a giant catch-22. |
Here are new details on Bruce Eichner’s megaproject in Crown Heights

Another big issue they are claiming are how these towers will effect the migratory flight paths/patterns of some birds.

I have to say one thing about this proposal. Whether you like it or not, the developers do have the right to go through the approvals process. It's not up to City Planning officials to trash a development before it goes through the approvals process, they can do that when the time comes. That's what the process is for. The Council of course will play their own politics.

Let the record show that this is a victory for the NIMBY hordes. Very unfortunate. Sometimes they get victories, like in Harlem, in which the One45 developer gave the middle finger and said no affordable units at all and just pulled out. At least some units will rise at 960 Franklin but it is a NIMBY victory; not allowing for real potential at the site. In a city needs housing, these scumbags always have to ruin good potential. Oh well... |
"It also means Franklin Avenue will get far fewer affordable units than Eichner was offering."
