It ain't a park with housing in it. If it happens in Brooklyn it will happen everywhere so that is another reason not to allow it. Private needs conflict with public needs. They took out the recreational elements because of the housing - luxe condo owners don't want people. lights or noise surrounding their million dollar condos. Get real Gatemouth. This ain't a park and Eileen Dugan is rolling over in her grave over your endorsement of this plan. And it has nothing to do with anything but Connor's stubborn insistence on housing inside park borders. He was a fool for agreeing to it. Better that he endorse park friendly revenue generators like they do at other waterfront parks including Hudson River Park - all without privatization of public lands.
