I live right near the proposed project, own a car, and I do not drive it here in the city (aside from going on trips or using it for a large purchasing/moving purposes). I do this because keeping a car in the city, even in brooklyn, is too much of a hassle and to be perfectly honest, bad for the community, environment and my wallet. I keep my car at my parents house upstate. Ive lived in FG and now PH for 13 years and my friends with families seem to get by without the use of a car. Perhaps the people moving into these residencies will have cars but not all of them will and the people who are going to basket ball games mostly would not be driving. Nobody drives to Knicks games, having 5 trains that run to the garden... no one would drive to Nets games in BK, having something like 15 subway lines and the LIRR. Its faster, cheaper and less of a hassle...

Basically I feel the traffic issue is kind of BS.
