All neighborhoods in Brooklyn are great. They are unique and all have something to offer. That’s what makes the borough such a great place to live.
It would be helpful, however if more people were able to be a little more rational and objective like 6:02. It IS possible to love where you live AND love other neighborhoods as well. It is also possible to realize that you live in an area that has more crime than other places, but still enjoy it nonetheless. It’s when people come on and pretend Bed Stuy is some idyllic paradise that we’re all missing out on, or that Park Slope has no other residents other than neurotic mothers, where things start to get hairy.
BTW, Did everyone hear that Apple is opening a store in Brooklyn? Not sure where yet, but it seems to be a sure thing…
I beg to differ, 6:04.
While you may not LIKE AY, we will INDEED be JUST FINE.
People in Manhattan seem to be ok with the skyscrapers and issues like wind that go along with it.
If you mean you won’t be fine emotionally, that’s one thing. But to suggest the end of life as we know it is completeley absurd.
And useless to this rather nice conversation thus far.
Wrong, 6:07! I’m a writer.
Me being a PS broker kind of defeats the whole point I was trying to make, right? You are literally the most cynical person on the planet. Congrats.
ooh, let me guess, 6:02pm is a PS broker.
Wind can be one huge issue. Sure, there are other huge issues as well…
Just because wind is a one of my concerns (never said it was my “biggest concern), doesn’t mean that “we’ll be just fine.” I’ve worked in urban planning and environmental impact. Trust me. The wind issue will be a big problem. AND there will be other huge problems as well. All added up, we won’t be “just fine.”
ooh, let me guess, 4:39pm lives in Clinton Hill. His was the most hilarious thing I’ve ever read on Brownstoner. People are so silly here.
I do not live in Park Slope. But I’m capable of being objective, therefore I’ll say Park Slope is the best neighborhood in Brooklyn. It just is. We like where we are, and there’s no way we can afford a whole house in Park Slope like we have in our own neighborhood. But if we did have $3 million, of course we’d be in Park Slope. I’m able to admit that, and still like my house and my neighborhood. Too bad 4:39pm can’t do that.
the wind is not an issue for most of us.
if that’s your biggest concern, i think we’ll be just fine.
Sorry, I meant to write that 13th street is UPWIND from the proposed AY towers, not downwind. In FG we’re downwind! Already on Hanson Place the wind sometimes will blow you over. But then, up the hill into Greene Avenue the wind almost is non-existent. Any AY towers are going to cause terrible wind turbulence in their wake!
I live in FG. We will be impacted when and if. 13th Street downwind and on the south side of the AYBS will not really be impacted, let’s face it. In fact, PS might have a lousy view of tall buildings, but in terms of downwind and shading, it may not be substantially impacted. Of course, when the wind comes from the north or northeast, there may be wind issues in the Slope. If this were Germany, there would be a wind study for one building 20 times more serious than the shoddy work done for this whole massive AY project. But hey, the prices for townhouses may still remain high despite the blemish unless the complex leads to urban decay. I certainly won’t appreciate a effing arena right in the nabe. Aside from the traffic/parking/exhaust issues, I’m most concerned right now about them closing the Carlton Ave. bridge for an extended period. That is my main way to get from FG to PS. Plus, seeing as many drivers use Carlton as a shortcut from Flatbush to the BQE, there will be more intense traffic on Flatbush and possibly other roundabout routes once the Carlton bridge is closed off. Frankly, they really could keep it open. It’s not as if the LIRR has to stop running and it’s right there in the footprint of this mess.
