escap,

You should no better than this escap.

Actually that was snarky and unfair. Sorry You may not know the issues, so it is not fair for me to judge.

PM me or we can discuss "lightly" here.

Again, good nite.

Yes, it's the obvious new dev issues in an established nabe. It was a parking lot for a near by funeral home. It IS adjacent to 2 landmarked buildings (one the Community Board).

Residents are most concerned in reg's to the scale of the project, not the development of the site. Common sense, like a lot of these projects, would deem a 150+ foot building a out-of-scale development for the nabe and all of Sunset Park. Also, views (public, of course) from the park will be mired. And having seen the bogus plans, it's another Fedders POS, no positive architectural addition to a very distinctive brownstone and lime stone area.

The community is very organized, so the developer, though building "as of right" will receive a ton of static...from yours truly and the CB as well.

Yet another example why City Planning needed to look at the CITY as a whole a rezone accordingly. High density where needed and appropriate, low density to preserve certain nabes and more over preserve their community character.

My 2, wait, 4 cents

Too kind....too kind
