What's with the asterisk by the "bedrooms = 3*"? Does that stand for "only kidding"?

I disagree wholeheartedly with the opinions above. We love this place and visit at least three times a month. The service is always super friendly and the food is very good, especially for the prices. (Try the meatballs!) It's true that they usually only have one or two wait persons for the entire place, but for the quality food and the convenient location, it's our go-to in the neighborhood.

Wow, the maint./cc charges coupled with the monthly tax bill on even the smallest of these apartments is STEEP! I gotta agree with the rest of the comments - the contracts already signed will be in trouble.

Huh. I'm pretty surprised by the short-sightedness of the comments above. I'm not a member of the CHA, but I am a neighboring property owner. The fight isn't about how the structures look. It's about keeping the developers honest. After losing the fight over whether the building was to be 50 or 60 feet, Two Trees blatantly lied to the DOB and the community in order to get around the height restrictions and publicly stated (repeatedly) that there were no habitable spaces on the roof. And it may be Atlantic Avenue, but that side of the street is still in the protected historic district. If community groups like CHA don't continue to act as watchdogs for the DOB, the whole process becomes meaningless, and the developers will be able to do whatever they want. Oh, and by the way, I love the Trader Joe's.
