What's a Few Historic Buildings When You Consider How Much Brooklyn Can Use More Parking Lots?
That, is according the "Boss Greed" Mike Bloomberg, who has, from day one, began a relentless campaign of unsustainable 'growth' that only benefits himself and his friends. Short term it makes the numbers look good, long term it seriously lowers the quality of life for New Yorkers. There's no thinking of future.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn loses buildings like the Duffield houses (on the right) and Ward's Bakery (on the left) to parking lots...then Bloomberg and others turn over land and resources to 'genius' developers who grace Brooklyn with treasures like this:
If this continues, Brooklyn will look more like a more crowded version of the blandest, poorly designed suburb. Building parking lots, ignoring infrastructure, increasing auto traffic, tearing down historic buildings, wasteful, flamboyant architecture....are Bloomberg and Ratner trying to relive their youth of the 1960s, when super blocks, auto-based infrastructure and wiping out the past were considered progressive?
Anyway you can do something:
What: Rally against Demolition for Parking
When: April 15 at 2pm
Where: Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt Ave.
Performers:
Lafayette Inspirational
Dave Hall
Others TBC

why don't you try to say "pro conservation" instead of "against" believe me, it attracks better enery and for instance better results.
Just for ones try.
you have nothing to loose.
I meant energy
I didn't organize it :)
I understand, but you are part of it, or you are close enough to the organizers.I am not saying you can stablish what they'll say ,but you can suggest.
I can assure you that if they'l start to use more the word pro instead of the word against, something wonderful would happens.
Is an entire process you put in motion trough the enery of the thought then to the verbal expression what is the word.
May be some other time we can talk about that.
