There was quite a brouhaha last week at the community meeting about the future of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Hosted by the Brooklyn Bridge Park, the gathering was held to explain why housing had to be included as an integral part of the plan. Brooklyn Papers reported that the announcement of a 30-story tower was met with audible gasps by the audience of mostly Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill residents. We think that Bloomberg’s concept of using private development money to help fund public improvements makes some sense in theory but will be a disaster if they try to ram projects like this down peoples throats.
