Damn love to oppose replacing a boarded-up shithole commercial building with mixed-income housing and a grocery store because it'll cast shadows on the nearby basketball courts, a thing that would itself be good. www.brownstoner.com/development/... - ThreadSky

Nothing better than going up for a rebound and burning your retinas out by staring directly into the sun

Search said he is a longtime resident who doesn’t plan to leave Crown Heights, but finds buildings like the one proposed to be “symbols” to show locals they don’t belong in the neighborhood.

Just wait till they build an office building instead.

If he's an unsuccessful comedian who is a longtime resident, he's likely got either an extremely good deal on a rent-stabilized unit, family money, or a place he owns. Of course he doesn't care about housing prices for anyone else!

You can’t expect players to run up and down a basketball court without the hot sun blazing down on them.

I know when I'm in the city, I hate when there's too much shade /s

Don't we all...

I love shade; shade is nice

My favorite is the lady who was upset that the renderings were projected on a screen. I’m sure if the developer had prepared handouts the project would have had her full support

> If the rezoning is rejected by the city council, the developers would build a new two-story commercial building with 182 underground parking spaces, documents included in the application say.

you have got to be fucking kidding me

Genuine scum. They can't even be honest and do this bullshit every time.

this place should be a slam dunk for a redevelopment. i walk and ride a bike by it all the time and there literally is nothing going on here!

rev-avocado.bsky.social•19 days ago

It's actively horrible! The collection of abandoned buildings on Empire makes it super unpleasant to walk along and emphasizes the speed of traffic.

luis.fullofit.blog•19 days ago

love 2 feel keenly aware of my mortality any time a car zooms by me on Empire when i'm traveling between the bike lane on Bedford and the (beautiful, protected) bike lane along Flatbush/Prospect Park

The two quoted opponents are Jim Search, a dumbfuck failed comedian, and Alicia Boyd, a homophobic homeowner with a personality disorder. Clearly these are the people who should be making policy.

highestmarx.bsky.social•19 days ago

If you’ve lived in this neighborhood for any time at all, Alicia Boyd’s involvement should tell you absolutely everything you need to know about the cause in question

rev-avocado.bsky.social•19 days ago

She is genuinely unhinged. Just a barnacle on the neighborhood.
