Our neighborhood is facing major challenges.
The L Train is crowded, the G never comes. We need more open space. We need more affordable housing. We need to keep our neighborhood unique.

The Daily News has a story today about a proposed park near the Domino Sugar Factory. While the piece has great quotes from NAG board members Stephanie Thayer and Evan Thies, my favorite quote came from as-far-as-I-know-ordinary-citizen Clive Smith, who said:
“The neighborhood is changing so much. It’s okay for them to build these huge condos on the waterfront, but there should also be open parkland, so everyone can run, walk, cycle and walk their dogs.”
Hear, hear, Clark! The issue is likely to come up when the proposed rezoning for that stretch of waterfront is discussed, in connection with the “New Domino” development. We’ll keep you posted.
