Rezoning Turns Four Today--Are You Celebrating?

Today marks four years since large portions of Williamsburg and Greenpoint were rezoned. We've got a lot of new buildings, not enough new parks, and a whole lot of questions and issues left to be resolved. NAG is dedicated to making sure that the city keeps the promises made during the rezoning, as well as fighting for affordable housing, preserving neighborhood character, and creating publicly accessible open space.

NAG board member Ward Dennis has a great overview of rezoning-related issues on his blog Brooklyn 11211. What do you think? Has your block changed for the better or worse? Do you have to leave for work earlier and earlier because the train is so crowded? Do you think the police are overwhelmed by the demands of the new demographics? Chime in in the comments, email us, or come to a NAG meeting to share your thoughts.

And if you want to join the fight to get our community its due, turn out for Where's My Park? Day this weekend!
