11:02 I beleive that is already in place from a DOB code standpoint. The larger new constructions I see being built now are accomodating parking. The picture you see though is not new construction. It was converted.
South Slope certainly has a parking problem and with the new developments it will only get worse. The R stops are 10 blocks apart at some points. It’s tough for grocery shopping and hauling kids around so many people want cars. All the new condos that are and will be coming into South Slope and Gowanus need to have parking garages. Like if they’re large buildings over a certain number of stories, they should be required by law to provide one parking spot for each resident. Any new highrise buildings in Park Slope should require that too. Heck, anywhere in Brooklyn.
that condo is one of the ugliest buildings in the area.
ugh ugh ugh!
Pretty unimpressive photo.
If you are annoyed by parking, ditch your car and ride the subway.
5th and 6th Avenue actually.
I really dont see the point of downzoning.
move to DC if you want short buildings.

Save beautiful Grand Street. It is sooooo critical to downzone that. What a loss if someone comes in an builds tall buildings over there. Hopefully the bubble will burst and the plummet in values will make everybody so delighted they downzoned. Save Brooklyn from tall buildings and market rate housing.
I think that picture is on 4th or 3rd ave.
