Cobble Hill-Carroll Gardens Monster: 11 Story Residential Tower Flips the Bird to South Brooklyn

The reader that brought this to Curbed's attention wrote, in part:
It's an eleven story building! How the flippin' heck does anyone get permission to build this!! WTF is going on at a city planning level to get this through?GL, for one, is in awe. Since Williamsburg already has a Finger Building, how about we call it: the Flipping the Bird Building?
First it's gentrification, and all those hipster kids. Then, the chain stores, putting the Mom and Pop stores out of business. Now this. Jees.
If they built this by the Gowanus I would say, bravo, its part of rejuvenating the area, and encouraging a new community of residents and businesses. But to put it up in a neighborhood were all the other buildings around are only four or five story's - well that's city planning at it's worst.

Suprise Suprise open your eyes...Some people believe that to create is great but build is like changing the past forever... If you want to create a beautiful home Visit building contractor and you can see what a little change can create..
Nice views of the truck and car drivers as they line up to pay the toll.
A million for this???
What asshole in the planning commission okayed this??
Fits so nicely in the community.
