Rev Billy and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir at St. Mark’s Church in the Bowery — Cast the devil out of the developers!
Bloomberg and his greedy land-grabber friends have proposed one of the most catastrophic rezonings in NYC’s history for Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It’s happening under our noses and, in fact, it’s happening all over the city. Who will decide what development looks like?
It’s an epic battle…meet the players in the Williamsburg Rezoning Brawl:
Team Bloomberg has a plan to add a wall of 40-story, luxury condos along the waterfront and privatize access to the river. As for silly extras like more park space, increased L service, or affordable housing…who needs them? Safeguarding over 4000 local jobs and businesses will take a back seat to high-rise hysteria.
Team Community has a plan to create a public esplanade on the water, set a height cap on sky-rises and mandate affordable housing. All that and green space too! Plus increased L service, and a healthy light industry sector.
The Final public hearing takes place at City Hall April 4th. We must pack the place, inside and out. Tell the city “No!” and remember: Bloomberg has a scam — the Community has a plan!
