Why so much parking?
Because the nearest subway station is a 15 minute walk up-hill.
LOL. I remember getting off at Marcy Avenue and not knowing where in Brooklyn I was!
I am impressed with all these beautiful architects in Brooklyn but please anyone tell me if these are affordable buildings or just for rich people? And from where I can get the application to file?
Application?
