"A citywide rezoning proposal quietly released by the de Blasio administration last month has begun the public review process. 'Zoning for Quality and Affordability'..."
We've known for some time that our neighborhood has been the target of out-of-context/out-of-scale development, but now the City is trying to codify the assault. Our community-led + hard-earned protections against runaway development, however minor they were during the most recent re-zoning, are again being challenged. This article just reached us and we all better sit-up, listen and understand the risks we're facing:

We all need to urge Community Board 7 + our elected officials to look out for the well-being of every member of our community. Well-being includes holistic health: clean water; clean food; equal education; dependable + affordable transportation, electricity+ gas, just to name a few of the features of a sustainable + livable community for ALL.
