Still inexplicable to me the entire coast of southern Brooklyn isn’t lined with 20-30 floor towers. That development on Cropsey is a good example of what one would expect to see from the Verrazzano all the way to the Rockaways.
really Genius?
do you remember hurricane sandy and all the damage that was done to Coney Island. This whole area was underwater and you want to put towers all along this stretch so they will be deluged and battered when the next hurricane comes?
NYC and NYS has yet to come up with plans to save Coney Island and all the other coastal areas from flooding and damage from the next hurricane.
What is wrong with your brain? Robustly built towers would be infanantly more resilient to such a storm than any lowrise structures currently built.
wtf is a robustly built tower?
I would really love to know
Agreed. Coney Island has amazing transit access and should be more built up. Out on the Rockaways, I would suggest something different – take advantage of the beach location for hotels and resort-type facilities, and use the bay side for residents that don’t need to commute so much (think retirees, nursing homes, etc.). Using the Rockaways as a dumping ground for low income housing when it was so far away from job opportunities was and is cruel.
