Watkins-Rendering-0310.jpgThis is pretty cool. A reader sent in a photo of this affordable housing project at 550 Watkins Street in Brownsville that is being developed by CPC Resources and East Brooklyn Congregations. Actually, it consists of 13 four-story rental buildings. Here’s the description from the the GC’s website: “The majority of the units in the project will be made affordable to families earning 60% of the Area’s Median Income. The project will have 35 one-bedroom units, 57 two-bedroom units, and 11 three bedroom units.” Update: There’s more info on the project on this page of the HPD website. GMAP

  1. rob-

    way to stand up to the other posters here. i have no sympathy for people who have children or want to have children and feel they should get it easier. it’s their fuc*ing choice to have kids. there the one’s bringing kids into this fuc*ed up world and guess what it ain’t getting any better! american culture is fuc*ed up and your right, surburban kids will be just as bad as kids from the pj’s.

  2. newflash, D-man, those kids will NOT be paying my Social Security, and bigger newsflash, i dont even WANT it! if i live to the horrible old age of 80, ill flip burgers. i wont be running down and hounding the mailman every first of the month for my welfare check (now defunct, i think it’s direct deposit!) or social security. barf. and im sorry but you can cling onto the idea that kids are GOOD for society, but not when those kids are raised in a dysfunctional society. i feel the same way btw about kids at ps 321, those kids ar ejust as bad and horrible for our future as the kids from the projects.
