BROOKLYN SPACE

News, Views & Observations

Clarification on the term 'Affordable Housing' seems to be a moving target in political and developmental terms, depending on whether is it built as a concession, or as a purposeful, geographically-based asset.

One of those projects just outside the historic district lines of Brooklyn Heights, served as a model for some of the ideas of City Council candidate Toba Potosky. He knows it well because he lives there. His new Five Point Plan for better housing in NYC is linked here.

A Cedar Waxwing, seen in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Jan A Cedar Waxwing, seen in Brooklyn Bridge Park, January 2021. The Waxwings have a colorful scientific name: Bombycilla cedrorum. In no danger of extinction, they love fruit. Over-ripe berries that have fermented in the sun have intoxicated flocks of cedar waxwings, causing them to crash into windows.
