Wise up, you are not in Century City anymore. Don't you get it? Why Brooklyn is beautiful? The history, the rowhouse. Save the sky, jerky boy or move back to Dayton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-87581522837804966832008-01-17T08:23:00.000-05:002008-01-17T08:23:00.000-05:00For me the problem's not height, per se, and it's not a matter of NIMBY-ism. The problem with Downtown Brooklyn is that within five years it will be a Rich People Only, zone and have only a tiny smattering of non-white faces. That's boring and ugly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-47775712004947618932008-01-16T18:36:00.000-05:002008-01-16T18:36:00.000-05:00According to today's Times, the housing market in NYC is stagnant. What will happen to these huge buildings if they're built, but empty, worse half built and empty?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-21376096931646566122008-01-16T10:39:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:39:00.000-05:00I was traveling along that section of Flatbush last night and what struck me was how little commercial space exists at street level, it's just a wall of brick and mortar with occasional entrances to Metrotech buildings. <BR/><BR/>I don't have a problem with height, but with the lack of any character, style, flair to these buildings. They could be dumped in any city and look just as "fitting" as they do (or don't) in Brooklyn.e⋅p⋅c⋅http://www.blogger.com/profile/16653062135180493938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-21149468761851001722008-01-16T10:12:00.000-05:002008-01-16T10:12:00.000-05:00I am so sick of hearing complaints about how building xyz is going to be taller than the Williamsburg Savings Banks tower. Here's a chance to get a beautiful skyline with varied heights and slender buildings, but if it were up to the NIMBY crowd we'd get a whole bunch of buildings who are just shy of 514 feet - a plateau of short, stubby buildings. Ugh! They've already ruined Miss Brooklyn for us, don't let them get this one, too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27072046.post-61459648896507094362008-01-16T09:52:00.000-05:002008-01-16T09:52:00.000-05:00Brooklyn's answer to the Freedom Tower? <BR/><BR/>I read the brownstoner post, and didn't notice the height.
