Me first! Me first! Mommy! I don't care how many neighborhoods already asked for a down-zoning! I want mine now!

You would think they could get someone with a little artistic talent to help with the "democracy wall", it looks like a preschool bulletin board.Talk about eyesore.

Asking for a downzoning study is one thing but expecting the city to put in place "protections while the study is being conducted" is another. A building moratorium is illegal and will not fly. Sorry Carroll Gardens, you're not so precious that your interests supercede that of the entire city.

a building moratorium is a great idea and allows the process to be completed without a developer playing beat the clock with zoning changes. Williamsburg is a mess - all that attracted people in the first place is being destroyed. Hate to see CGdns go that way. Nimby's rule!! They should - no one knows or cares for a neighborhood the way those that live in do and besides there are plenty of ways to building new housing without draining the blood of the city.
