I can’t WAIT for AY!!!
bring on the wall of buildings!!!
oh and ps. 282 is considered quite good, i do believe.
Speaking of schools… the Berkeley Pl brownstone mentioned above isn’t in the PS 321 district but the PS 282 district, from what I can tell.
How does PS 282 compare to 321? What are other options?
Unfortunately…the idea that schools compete and thus improve does not happen in the real world of the NYCPSS. And…for all these new kids, where are the schools being built? How are we going to bring in all the needed water? Are the mains being enlarged all the way up to the source? What about sewage and storm runoff? Right now, most of the water shed during storms runs right into the ground.
To 6:12. No, we will not all be just fine. The shadows from the proposed buildings will cut off our sunlight all winter long when the sun is low.
Sure, people live among skyscrapers in NYC but the mix is sometimes different. With AY, we’ll have a WALL of bldgs. with basically a ‘shag carpet’ of buildings upwind and down wind. There are places in Manhattan that already have unreal wind conditions. Sorry if you haven’t been around enough. I had a friend who went horizontal holding onto the fence of St. Paul’s Chapel. Friends living in the cluster of nightmare south of Lincoln Center by the TW ex-Coliseum Towers among the other high rises…I won’t tell you. I was there once in the winter and the wind chill was beyond belief. As I mentioned above, walking up Hanson Place with the WSB, the Ratner-Nothing and a couple of other bldgs which form the first big barrier to wind coming up from the south, the wind will blow you over sometimes even though you’ll get up the hill further into FG and feel almost nothing!
There may be some pos. impacts if the mess is pushed through but there will be many negative ones as well. As I mentioned above, the environmental impact study is a joke…it’s like having a child’s menu at a 4-star restaurant.
Here’s another house on 13th street that is MUCH nicer and perhaps worth the $1.7 mil:

Better location than the one Mr. Brownstoner picked too.
“that will put pressure on Public schools to compete”
What does that even mean?
Totally Agree,
All those folks moving into high price AY condos will need to educate their kids. Public schools in the area may see a surge and requisite demand for more capacity and standards. Of course many will go to private schools, but even that will put pressure on Public schools to compete.
The primary post-construction negatives re: AY as I see them are:
– increased foot, vehicular and subway traffic, parking issues (which are already brutal)
– effect on the cityscape (views, shadows, etc.)
– crowding of schools
I would think that AY may add some appeal to the neighborhood by supporting:
– new retail/services/restaurants
– development of previously uninspiring sections of Flatbush/Atlantic
– pressure to improve/expand schools
Agree?/Disagree?
