To those who have lived here for over 50 years, by your comments, did you ever wonder why so many people who come to this neighborhood love it so much?...did you ever think maybe people like Buddy or Celia or these "small grass root groups of people" have fought really hard to keep it nice for you for over 50years? Instead of your sarcasms, think before you write....These so-called people you mentioned are the only ones that have fought to keep Carroll Gardens a great place. These so- called people have selflessly and generously spent their valuable time and money to protect and preserve what we have now...a great and wonderful place to live and raise a family. You should be thanking and supporting these so-called people. All it takes is for you to understand and get the facts. These so-called people have done their homework thoroughly. Have you?
There is an old 160yr- administrative code that have protected our signature courtyards/gardens from anyone building on it or making it into a private parking lot. Opening it up for one will set a precedent. Do you really want to lose our signature courtyards/gardens that which is what makes Carroll Gardens a beautiful and unique neighborhood. Williamsburg had very little people fighting for it...the historic beauty of Williamsburg is gone. Do you really want that to happen to Carroll Gardens? There are so many generations of family and great people in this neighborhood. A lot of them are fighting to keep it nice for everyone especially for you.

Enough with this yapping. The time has come to declare Carroll Gardens a historic District. Landmark Carroll Gardens now.
While it's true that the city chose to ignore its own "Courtyard Law" when there was a city school there - like it or not, the government can do that - This private school is exactly that: Private.
It may not be thier fault, but once the proeprty was sold (not leased by the city) to a private entity then all waviers should have been cancelled, all exceptions stopped and no past usage should be 'grand-fathered'
That having been said, it's a MUCH smaller issue that the area is used for parking (although I don't know why they need TWO cut curbs: 1 on Smith and a double sized one on 4th Place)-
The real issue is that they want to BUILD on the site & change the Frontage/Property point.
