| This one comes straight from a study by the Municipal Arts Society! This plan has the Warrior Seal of Approval! |
| GREENPOINT-WILLIAMSBURG COMMUNITY PLAN
HEIGHT AND BULK (they can't dwarf our communities with a 40 story gated community, we will stand "In the Shadow of No Man" - Crime and the City Solution- great song)
(so far each person in Greenpoint/Williamsburg has the equivelant to 1/2 a bathroom of open space. kids are playin' in the street. that ain't cool. As per the city's proposal of a PRIVATE waterfront esplanade, I'm not going to tell my future kids to use the "side entrance" during "special hours." No way, no how! Parks are for people, ALL people! Warriors!)
(affordable housing = mixed community = non-segregation = a healthy community as well as the chance for whities to shake it in new fun ways!)
(We have 4000 industrial jobs threatened by this rezoning. These are your artist friends income- glass blowing, furniture making, art handling,ironworks ect. Besides being necessary to a healthy economy, for example- if these guys lose their jobs, they can't give tips to Eve when she's working at the bar so Eve cant buy her friend Siri's clothes at her friends' Sto's or Sarah's stores, and so Sarah, Sto, Siri and many others lose their hope of running their small businesses and close down to make way for a more Corporate Williamsburg with a Starbucks and Gap on every block and a total loss of individuality; while, in addition to that horrible image we would lose the Nitty Gritty industrial aesthetic we all truely find inspiring. We must win! For the sake of humankind- Warrior on!) |
