North Brooklyn’s Rezoning Is A Potential Transformation

The Bloomberg administration is working to transform the nearly two miles of North Brooklyn waterfront into the next big residential destination. The rezoning plan, now before the City Council, is ambitious and could provide housing and reclaim an urban wasteland. Before it can do anything, though, the plan needs to ensure that affordable housing is a significant piece of the mix according to Community Councilman David Yassky. Failure to do so could delay development.
