So the expensive parking stall count is less than 10% of the total units, which is great news. I’m assuming this is under to new revised zoning requirements. Baby steps…
Baby steps …to a brave new world where cars are replaced by rickshaws, bikes, horse drann carriages and perhaps a few mules ..with a city economy to match. All while the pitiful 4 car G train tries to accommodate yet another thousand residents who are competing with the homeless for seats, and with the lack of in-house parking robbing precious parking spaces on surrounding streets. Not to mention that anything other than parking at ground level here is subject to a repeat of Sandy’s 10 to 13 foot storm surge in this waterfront area.

More housing for rich hipsters that will pay $9 for a caramel Latte
Greenpoint is already getting overcrowded with new residents, this will only add to it. There is no way public transportation can handle all these people. Let’s face it, this is nothing but a cash grab.
Why are these getting approved. The issue isn’t more luxury housing, the issue is actual housing. The people that live in these buildings are unlikeable and ruin entire communities. Parasites. There should simply be an all out ban on new luxury housing throughout the city.
