MTOPP strikes again....

I received this last night:

lol, but why; why would you do that?

UGH - I just realized that and now I am going to miss the gathering :-(

lilern-
We expect a full report, and hope that your evening is as enjoyable as ours.

aye aye captain - from the agenda it looks pretty standard but we shall see - you never know with these things - especially when it involves CB9

Brownstoner is giving us some pre-event coverage:
http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2014/10/controversial-community-board-9-zoning-study-still-in-the-works-requested-mixed-use-development-on-empire-boulevard/

"The board would have liked a broader study of the entire district, but the city said it did not have the resources, and “we only get so many bites at the apple for this,” she said."

Crap! I'm in Quadrant B.  I think this means no study for me.  Wonder if we will ever get another bite at the apple...

Under Bloomberg, the western section of CB8 waited something like 8 years to be rezoned.

Under DeBlasio, I expect it to be quicker, because doing so will allow him to reach his goal of creating "below market rate housing".

Note: I try to not use the term "affordable housing" because it is so subjective, and has lost its meaning

So far, those against this rezoning and others have yet to clearly articulate that they understand them as being part of Bill DeBlasio's "affordable housing initiatives" or PlaNYC (which was passed under Bloomberg).

In a few months, they might connect the dots.

Until then, there is similar "Fun in the Bronx": http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2014/10/27/bronx_residents_disrupt_tour_of_proposed_new_neighborhood.php

PlaNYC: http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc/html/home/home.shtml

so they are coming to disrupt tomorrow.  the agenda doesn't include anything about this!  UGH - these MTOPP people are on my last nerve!!!

1. Take back the resolution.

2. Pass a resolution to demand that our Elected Officials take us to see the Mayor about him Preserving Our Community!

3. NO More Luxury development in our community!

I guess MTOPP is going to saturate the speaking times and hijack the CB9 meeting yet again.....

It isn't too late to join us at G Lee's, and then read about it the next day in DNA.info, Brownstoner, Curbed, Daily News and every other outlet that is going to cover it.
