Many Thumbs Up for Prospect Heights Historic District
Not everyone is in favor of landmarking a section of Prospect Heights, but the general sentiment at yesterday's LPC meeting was favorable, according to the NY Observer. "Opponents were in the minority, although one local business owner worried that landmark designation would 'cripple an owner's effort to lease their storefront,' adding that 'entry-level tenants' find it difficult to face the conditions imposed by historic district status."

I was at the meeting and the testimony was overwhelmingly favorable to the landmarking effort. I am unsure what entry level tenants he is referring to as the only new tenants on Flatbush seem to be large telephone companies and there is a trend of evicting long time tenants such as Moody's to get higher rent.
