Newsflash: 160 Imlay Street Back On Track

After community protests, a stop work order and a six-month hiatus, the condo conversion at 160 Imlay Street got the go-ahead when a lawsuit filed by the Red Hook-Gowanus Chamber of Commerce was thrown out by an appellate court on a technicality. (Interestingly, the lawsuit was partially funded by Greg O’Connell, the long-time Red Hook property owner profiled here earlier this week.) So now Developer Bruce Batkin can procede with his plans to convert the property—which has become a symbol of the struggle between the new forces of luxury development and the area’s working class, industrial past.

It is a Charles Darwin thing> people dont like competition, so they try to sabotage it when they can.

Andrew Carnegie did it with the steel industry, he wasn't the first and he won't be the last.

That guy is like the Darth Vader/ Dick Cheney of Red Hook. He wants to stamp out any resistence.

Boot camps are about discipline, obeying the authority, and following “Yes, Sir!”, “No, Sir!” mentality. They are of short term, inexpensive, and help unruly teens to reunite with their family members.
