Burg Boomtown: This Is The Edge!
Curbed has the scoop on the million-square-foot development slated for the Williamsburg waterfront between North 5th and North 7th. Guess they weren’t kidding about that rezoning stuff.

Ahhhh. The properly ironic demise to a neighborhood that grew too full of itself.
Silly, they won’t be crowding on the train. They’ll be taking their sailboats to work!
R.I.P. Williamsburg.
Oh how promising you once seemed, and how I loved you way back when I first lived there. But it’s damn good and ovah now.
don’t rent anything at 151 Kent. Your manhattan view will vanish very, very soon.
and we don’t even have a f’in decent grocery store. tops is okay, but majorly overpriced. and once every condo is built – looked around mccarren park lately? – where are people going to shop, drop their dry cleaning, PARK? do their laundry?
“Welcome to Miami”
disaster.

But landArk makes some strange sense here.
The irony: They won’t let me brush up against my landark the wrong way, but they let this happen.
this is the exact type of development wburg residents feared when the rezoning became official. ugly, souless, tall. garbage development by a garbage developer.
bpc is not something a neighborhood should aspire to.
If you think it’s not such a bad thing Anon 3.30, try taking the L at rush hour. Williamsburg does not have the infrastructure (schools, transportation, hospitals, etc) for this kind of development.
