Pol, Locals Call for More Affordability in Planned Arrow Linen DevelopmentIt should be noted that of the 30-odd people who testified in favor of the proposal, less than a handful actually live in the area and aren't affiliated with some kind of lobbyist organization. One proponent lives in Upper Saddle Neck, NJ! Conversely, nearly everyone testifying against it lives in Windsor Terrace or South Slope, the neighborhoods most impacted by the development. The outliers were members of CB7 who voted 30-6 against it, and the president of the Park Slope Civil Council. Councilmember Hanif needs to listen to her constituents and not outside lobbyists with their own agenda (aka Open NY.) Ignoring the voices of those most impacted by this development puts her re-election bid in serious jeopardy. Which would be shame because she does do a lot of good things for District 39. Not sure why she has this blind spot for residents of Windsor Terrace and South Slope.
