"Worn Out By Horrendous Development Greed": A Reader Writes To PMFA Regarding Hannah Senesh Expansion

From Pardon Me For Asking's mail box:

Dear Katia,

So many of the critical Atlantic Yards actions through the long years of our opposition have come at times when people are otherwise engaged, that I have to assume that De Blasio read the playbook and assumed holiday distractions would keep people from paying attention.

This is NOT to be trusted...please suggest what we can do. If this proposal is allowed to happen, other such travesties will follow and the entire nature of our historic low-rise communities will evaporate.


For eight classrooms, they will alter the streetscape FOREVER...or is this just another ruse by developers...as they pulled off on 16th Street...connecting a development to a religious purpose and then after they got all sorts of waivers and privileges, changed the entire situation at the last moment, actually believing that no one would notice?

So worn out by such horrendous development greed,
Phyllis Wrynn

Hi Katia...

I so second the emotions in this letter...greed greed greed and more greed. The overcrowding in the schools is due to the overbuilding, we do not have the infrastructure for this. This is a small and intimate neighborhood, not midtown Manhattan! As it stands now, we are over-run, the streets are crowded, trucks the size of buildings, barely able to turn corners, and cars everywhere, engines idling all day long, and less and less open space. All the things that make our neighborhood unique (air, light, plants, sunshine, peace, quiet) and what it is, are disappearing, chipped away at by developers and and politicians like de blasio, more interested in their careers than in quality of life.
It's changing our whole experience of living here. Noise, congestion, pollution. This is the legacy of blasio and his ilk. NMB
