right, think winter, this is going to block winter sun, when the sun is at it's lowest. the worst possible thing, no sun in winter in the park on cold days. and in the summer it will impact no one. save your breath on the kudos to ratner please.

FYI: The South Oxford Street Block Association didn't "create" this image. It came from the Ratner/Empire State Development Corporation's Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

Thanks for the spin and for giving Fort Greene residents something to look forward to!
