A
C
Surprise
today,
yeah
yeah,
but
thank
goodness
I,
was
properly
dressed
for
it,
because
I
put
on
my
coat
I
was
like,
but
yeah.
It
was
very
good
Shanna
who
is
from
the
who's
a
part
of
the
board
for
the
African
burial
ground.
She
sort
of
just
gave
a
little
tour
of
some
other
Buildings
gave
a
little
bit
of
History.
D
A
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
it
and
hope
it
she'll
come
to
the
task,
force,
meeting
and
sort
of
like
and
you
and
Joanne,
and
you
know,
maybe
kind
of
do
an
overview
of
it
because
I
like
the
idea
how
they're
connecting
locations.
So
there's
like
this
sort
of
trail
of
historical
significance
and
sounds.
C
C
No,
it's
not
Institute,
it's
some
other
organization
called
like
Kinfolk
or
something
like
that
and
what
they
do
is
to
do
like
a
a
sort
of
virtual
memorial.
So,
like
you
can,
maybe
you
know
like
walk
down
the
block
and
be
able
to
see,
like
you
know,
a
sign
with
a
QR
code
and
you
know
sort
of
see
something.
That's
maybe
in
like
a
virtual
thing,
it's
kind
of
like
I,
don't
know
if
you've
seen
some
malls,
they
have
it
like
this
sort
of
walking
stick
figure.
C
A
C
A
G
C
C
B
C
Okay,
but
before
you
do
that,
Brit
I
just
want
to
jump
in
real,
quick
and
just
welcome
everybody
to
tonight's
meeting.
My
name
is
Talisha
sainville
and
along
with
Gregory
Alvarez,
we
are
the
co-chairs
of
the
housing
and
land
use
committee
here
at
community
board
14..
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here
Brit.
You
can
go
ahead
and
well.
I
I
just
want
to
introduce
what
we're
doing
here.
C
As
many
of
you
already
know,
we
received
the
Brooklyn
Borough
president's
planning
for
public
health
in
Brooklyn
existing
conditions
report,
which
we
submitted
some
comments
to,
and
it
should
have
been
attached
to
your
meeting
invitation
for
this
evening,
but
you
can
also
find
it
on
the
CBA
14
website
and
you
can
also
go
back
and
watch
on
the
cb14
YouTube
page.
If
you
missed
the
meetings
where
we
discussed
this
and
you
want
to
you
know,
get
yourself
up
to
date.
E
E
So,
first
off
you
know
what
is
the
comprehensive
plan?
The
way
that
we're
approaching
this
comprehensive
plan
is
seeing
it
as
guidance
for
Community
stakeholders
in
order
to
utilize
a
variety
of
needs
to
implement
its
goals
we
identify
in
the
plan.
So
in
this
context
we
see
this
comprehensive,
planet's
guidance
for
the
borough,
president's
land,
use
decisions
and
recommendations,
but
also
a
way
to
outline
and
provide
accountability
and
predictability
for
our
land
use
decisions.
E
You
know
going
to
want
to
really
read
it
that
throughout
tonight
that
this
is
very
much
a
work
in
progress
in
the
back
and
forth
and
iteration
is
a
very
key
critical
part
of
how
we
want
to
build
and
assemble
this
comprehensive
plan,
and
it
is
not
a
rezoning
itself.
We're
not
going
to
be
changing
the
zoning
designations
of
anywhere
in
Brooklyn.
Through
this
comprehensive
plan.
I
E
The
office
so
at
our
office
at
Brooklyn,
Borough
Hall,
the
Broken
Bow
president's
office
issues,
ulip
recommendations,
the
universe,
land
use
review
procedure,
the
pro
president
sponsors
and
introduces
legislation
in
partnership
with
city
council,
identifies
budget
priorities
and
provides
allocations.
The
pro
president
monitors
and
modifies
delivery
of
city
services
and
the
bird
President
also
serves
as
a
convener
and
strategic
communicator
and
planner
for
the
borough.
E
So
why
is
this
comprehensive
plan
focusing
on
health
and
housing?
The
real
motivation
or
the
significant
modification
motivation
of
this
plan
is
noticing
the
Starks
disparities
and
health
outcomes,
as
it
relates
to
race
and
income
in
the
borough.
The
map
on
the
right
is
a
one
indicator
that
shows
the
very
big
disparities.
There's
parts
of
Brooklyn
where
the
average
or
the
life
expectancy
is
20
years
different
higher
than
others.
E
So
we
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
coalesce
a
future
land
use
framework
for
Brooklyn,
focusing
on
improving
Public
Health
outcomes,
and
there
is
a
growing
body
of
research
that
really
shows
the
connections
between
the
social
and
economic
determinants
of
Health,
such
as
location
of
affordable
housing,
the
availability
and
quality
of
public
transportation
and
the
accessibility
of
public
services
and
amenities.
These
all
have
a
very
close
relationship
with
health
in
our
communities
and
in
Brooklyn.
E
So
as
mentioned,
we
began
this
process
with
an
existing
conditions
report.
We
established
an
advisory
committee
and
then
held
a
town
hall
in
December,
where
we
solicited
feedback
both
in
person
at
that
town
hall
about
the
data
that
was
collected
and
online
for
a
month
and
about
the
period
of
December
and
January.
E
We
presented
this
existing
conditions
to
the
borough
board
and
the
borough
service,
cabinets
and
We've
engaged
with
critical
stakeholders,
including
both
Community
boards
and
focus
groups
that
were
led
by
our
partner
hesterspreed
focus
groups
focusing
on
health
and
housing
infrastructure
and
environmental
justice
in
particular.
So
this
is
a
collection
of
some
examples
of
the
the
feedback
we
received
in
person
and
then
also
the
online
form,
as
well
as
some
media
I'm,
describing
what
again
our
goals
on
the
health
and
housing
in
this
comprehensive
plan.
E
E
Goals
where
we're
we've
identified,
seven
emerging
goals
that
we
want
to
achieve,
or
we
want
to
strive
for
in
Brooklyn.
These
are
then
organized
and
into
objectives
and
recommendations.
Getting
more
and
more
specific,
we've
also
identified
metrics
by
which
we're
going
to
be
evaluating
the
success
of
these
recommendations
and
whether
we're
making
progress
towards
building
a
healthier
Brooklyn
and
more
Equitable
Brooklyn.
E
We
also
are
organizing
this
plan
through
land
use
framework
and
each
framework
is
providing
a
sort
of
spatial
distribution
of
the
priorities
and
these
recommendations
across
the
borough.
So
the
emerging
goals
is
kind
of
by
subject
area
and
goes
from
more
General
to
more
specific
and
the
land
use.
Frameworks
are
sort
of
the
spatial,
distribution
and
organization
of
the
recommendations
in
this
comprehensive
plan.
E
So
for
you
know
to
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail.
These
are
the
seven
examples
or
the
seven
goals
that
we've
identified,
that
span
from
environment,
to
health
care,
to
accessibility
as
well
as
jobs,
and
each
one
as
I
mentioned,
has
different
objectives,
several
objectives
underneath
and
then
even
more
recommendations
underneath
so
tonight
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
go
through
every
single
recommendation,
we're
going
to
be
sharing
with
all
Community
boards
very
soon,
a
link
that
provides
the
full
list
and
you
can
get
feedback
on
them.
E
But
tonight
we
can
go
through
an
example
of
a
goal
to
kind
of
outline
how
the
plan
is
structured.
So
an
example
goal
that
we've
identified
as
environmental
conditions,
where
the
plan
wants
to
reduce
hazardous
environmental
conditions
in
the
borough,
especially
including
those
exacerbated
by
climate
change
affecting
the
most
vulnerable
in
the
borough.
So
one
of
several
objectives
within
this
goal
is
to
protect
vulnerable
populations
from
high
heat.
E
Within
that
objective,
we
have
four
more
specific
recommendations
that
include
increasing
open
space,
increasing
the
number
of
splash
parks
in
high
heat
communities
increasing
tree
cover,
and
the
metric
we've
identified
for
addressing
this
problem
is
the
heat
vulnerability
index
score,
which
is
a
metric.
It
guide
developed
by
dohmh,
Department
of
Health
mental
hygiene.
So
in
a
certain
number
of
years
we
would
like
to
see
this
heat
vulnerable
vulnerability
index
score
decreased
across
the
borough,
so
we've
also
talking
about
the
the
land
use.
E
Frameworks,
we've
developed
four
land
use
Frameworks
that
divide
the
spatial
planning
for
Brooklyn.
These
are
housing
growth
and
parking
demand,
management,
health
and
wellness
economy,
healthy
streets
and
environments
and
green
Waterfront
economy
or
resilient
industrial
Waterfront
is
another
way
we've
been
putting
this.
So
this
is
the
spatial
way,
we're
organizing
these
sort
of
goals
to
think
about
how
the
land
use
in
Brooklyn
gold
can
be
shaped
in
the
coming
years.
So
an
example
of
how
these
interact
is
that
we've
got
a
list
of
goals
under
environmental.
E
So
this
is
a
land
use
framework
that
seeks
to
facilitate
Transportation
oriented
development,
a
fair
share,
housing
growth
and,
let's
congested
streets
in
the
borough,
so
fair
share.
Housing
growth
is
really
looking
at
encouraging
housing,
construction
and
Community
districts,
or
especially
in
community
districts
or
housing
production,
is
not
kept
pace
with
growth
over
the
last
decade.
So
the
map
on
the
right
shows
in
yellow
new
housing
that
was
built
in
from
2010
to
2020
and
the
underlying
layer.
E
The
blue
color
shows
the
amount
of
population
increase,
so
we
see
that
there's
a
large
amount
of
housing
that
was
built
in
north
and
Central
Brooklyn,
but
also
that
is
where
a
lot
of
the
population
of
growth
occurred
in
the
borough
as
well.
You
can
see
that
in
other
parts
of
the
borough
there
was
less
housing
group
built,
but
there
was
also
still
an
increase
of
population,
and
indeed,
no
part
of
the
borough
shrunk
in
the
last
between
the
last
two
census
is.
E
The
widest
color
here
just
reflects
the
least
amount
of
growth
overall,
and
although
we
want
to
encourage
housing
growth,
that's
not
to
say
that
everywhere
once
we
should
seek
growth
uniformly,
we
definitely
are
encouraging
transit-oriented
development,
that
more
housing
growth
should
happen,
especially
close
to
Transit
high
quality
Transit
stations
So.
Within
a
quarter
mile
of
subway
station,
you
see
like
the
highest
concentration
of
not
only
a
housing
but
also
neighborhood
resources,
key
Community
facilities,
grocery
stores
and
then
within
a
half
mile.
E
So
concentrating
development
along
Transit
lines
is
one
way
of
doing
this,
but
also
providing
a
series
of
other
tools
such
as
you
know,
residential
parking
permits,
A,
Better,
Way,
finding
to
off-street
parking
and
a
series
of
other
tools
to
help
encourage
better
in
rationalization
or
use
of
our
Precious
on
us
on
street
parking
and
Road
beds.
Here
in
the
borough,
the
next
land
use
framework
we
have
is
the
health
and
wellness
economy,
and
this
is
a
land
use
framework
that
is
examining
really
the
disparity
from
life
expectancy
across
the
borough.
E
So
this
is
a
land
use
framework,
that's
looking
both
at
Health
outcomes
and
the
health
of
residents,
but
also
where
health
and
education
workers
live
within
the
borough.
So
it's
looking
at
encouraging
active
and
passive,
open
space
and
access
to
Medical
Care
as
care,
but
also
is
where
people
go
to
school
and
go
to
work.
So,
as
you
can
see
the
again,
the
life
expectancy
outcomes
is.
E
It's
also
about
where
healthcare
workers
work.
You
can
see
that
on
the
map,
the
right
the
darker
colors
are
areas
where,
with
higher
concentration
of
residents,
who
work
in
healthcare
and
education,
Industries,
roughly
half
of
Brooklyn
residents
work
in
those
two
industries,
so
is
that
significant
portions
of
this,
the
population
live
in
transit,
deserts
with
inadequate
Transit
access
across
the
borough.
E
Then
we
have
healthy
streets
and
environment.
This
is
a
land
use
framework
that
is
focused
on
creating
Safe
Streets,
for
where
pedestrian
and
bicycle
deaths
are
concentrating
the
borough.
It
encourages
us
to
think
annuitably
about
the
public
realm,
to
embrace
tactical,
open
space
interventions
and
to
prioritize
bus
lane
construction
within
the
road
bed
across
the
borough.
E
E
This
is
the
land
use
framework
that
is
looking
to
facilitate
a
couple
things
really
trying
to
encourage
industrial
drop
growth
and
retention
in
the
borough,
multi-modal,
Freight,
Solutions
and
resilient
Waterfront
in
the
face
of
climate
change.
So
an
example
of
industrial
job
growth
that
we're
looking
to
incur
are
encourages
taking
advantage
of
New
York's
competitive
advantage
in
the
wind
energy
economy,
because
we
have
a
shallow
shelf
continental
shelf
off
of
the
coast
of
New
York.
This
makes
it
much
cheaper
and
easier
to
build
wind
farms,
offshore
and
Brooklyn's.
E
Coast
is
well
situated
to
be
a
supply
chain.
Industrial
Waterfront.
For
that
industry
and
create
quality,
high
quality,
sustainable
jobs
along
the
Brooklyn
Waterfront
for
Brooklyn
residents,
the
existing
infrastructure
near
the
Waterfront,
but
also
near
our
Rail
lines,
also
prevents
some
untapped
opportunities
to
move
more
freight
and
Last
Mile
potential.
Last
mile
delivery
across
Freight
and
Barge
modes
of
transit
route
and
looking
to
get
trucks
off
of
the
roads
in
Brooklyn
and
make
for
a
safer
and
less
congested
streets
and
the
final
component.
E
We're
highlighting
here
is
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
hats
project,
which
is
a
once
in
generation
opportunity
to
perfect
our
Waterfront
communities
through
a
couple.
There's
lots
of
small
interventions
they're
making,
but
you
know
some
very
higher
profile.
Larger
interventions
are
the
storm
surge
barrier
at
Jamaica,
Bay,
tidal
gates
at
Coney,
Island
and
Red
Hook
sea
walls
and
a
storm
surge
barrier
up
at
Newtown
Creek.
That
will
make
a
potential
storm
event
such
as
Sandy
much
safer
across
the
Waterfront
in
the
borough.
E
E
In
this
plan
it
can
help
reduce
obesity.
We
can
see
that
the
concentration
of
high
rates
of
obesity
in
the
borough
does
cut
through
the
area
that
would
be
served
by
the
idx
providing
more
access
to
a
walkable
train
trip.
I
can
also
potentially
reduce
commute
times,
reduce
car
crap.
They
can
improve
air
quality
and
access
to
opportunity.
E
The
ibx
also
goes
through
that
parts
of
the
borough
with
higher
levels
of
vehicle
miles
travel
reported,
and
there
are,
is
research
linking
vehicle
miles
traveled
with
for
health
outcomes
as
well,
and
it
has
the
potential
also
incurred
residential
growth,
provide
more
math,
Transit
redundancy
and
facilitate
more
connection
between
waterborne
and
Rail
and
Freight
movements.
So
for
this
reason
the
ibx
is
kind
of
an
example
of
a
model
project
that
is
achieving
a
lot
of
the
goals
outlined
in
this
comprehensive
plan,
both
Health
outcomes,
housing,
Transit
and
sustainability.
E
E
We
in
the
process,
so
the
first
pro
part
of
the
process,
is
the
existing
conditions
report.
Now
we
are
in
phase
two
on
this
graphic,
which
we're
Gathering
feedback
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
This
is
very
much
a
work
in
progress.
These
recommendations
are
not
finished.
We
are
opening
up
to
receive
feedback
on
them.
Our
partner,
Hester
Street,
is
Running
Train
the
trainer
sessions
with
our
focus
groups
we're
having
Community
conversations
just
like
this
one
tonight
with
Community
boards,
land
use
committees
across
the
borough.
E
So
the
digital
tool,
as
I
mentioned,
we'll
be
following
up
with
all
Community
boards
and
it
will
be
open
until
May
31st
and
then
we
will
also
be
inviting
everyone
to
our
draft
recommendations.
Town
Hall
the
week
of
May
15th
and
would
be
very
happy
to
get
your
feedback
both
in
person
and
through
the
digital
tool
and
looking
forward
to
any
questions
that
you
may
have
or
any
comments
and
I
will
open
it
up
for
it
now.
C
Thank
you
for
that
for
it.
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
I
I
think
you
can
feel
free
to
unmute
yourself
raise
your
hand
or
drop
your
question
in
chat
and
I
I
guess
if
I
can
get
started
with
my
own
question,
so
you
said
that
Brit
there's
going
to
be
a
town
hall
on
May
15th
and
that
town
hall
meeting
is
going
to
be
to
discuss
basically
a
little
bit
more
of
what
you
discussed
tonight
or
is
it
supposed
to
be
for
collecting
further
information.
E
Yes,
so
it's
going
to
be
the
week
of
May,
15th
I
think
the
specific
day
we
are
still
confirming.
But
yes,
the
goal
is
that
you
know
we
will.
We
are
collecting
feedback
throughout
April
and
May
and
we'll
be
making
changes
and
incorporating
the
taking
the
comments
to
note
and
then
presenting
a
you
know
the
draft
recommendations
you
know
info
at
that
town
hall
and
having
sort
of
a
charette
or
a
feedback
session
in
person
that
week.
E
C
C
Okay
and
then
I
I
have
one
more
question:
I
I'm
not
trying
to
take
all
the
air
out
of
the
room
here,
but
so
this,
the
seven
goals
that
you've
identified
did
those
goals
come
out
of
the
first
sort
of
phase
of
the
existing
conditions,
reports
and
all
of
the
things.
The
feedback
that
you
received
is
that
where
those
goals
came
from.
E
Yes,
yeah,
it
came
from
the
conversations
we
had
in
the
existing
conditions,
the
feedback
and
kind
of
data
that
Rose
to
the
top.
During
that
process,
seeing
the
you
know,
start
disparities
and,
and
health
and
housing
across
the
borough,
just
as
two
of
the
examples,
but
yes
I,
think
that's
a
great
way
of
putting
it.
Those
goals
did
arise
from
that
existing
conditions,
phase
of
the
the
comprehensive
planning.
C
E
Yeah
so
I
think
I
mean
I
think
we
are
looking
to
empower
Community
boards
to
really
kind
of
use.
This
kind
of
information
as
they
seem
fit,
but
I
think
we
think
it's
a
great
way
to
provide
some
predictability
and
reliability
of
how
Borough
Hall
is
going
to
be
evaluating
your
projects
that
come
through
our
pipeline,
so
that
you
know
Community
boards
and
other
stakeholders
across
the
borough
will
be
able
to
reference.
This
plan.
I
E
Know
kind
of
where
Brooklyn
Borough
president's
office,
where
they're
pointing
on
several
key
issues
so
that,
hopefully
there's
you
know,
there's
much
fewer
surprises.
We
know
that
you'll
know
what
our
uip
recommendations
and
questions
and
hearings
are
going
to
be
pointed
towards
and
what
you
can
expect
from
our
office.
I
think
it's
also
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
just
collect
and
share
a
lot
of
data
and
resources.
E
I
mean
one
thing:
that's
become
very
apparent,
while
working
on
this
plan
is
that
even
just
if
you're,
limiting
yourself
to
official
city
of
New,
York,
Publications
and
plans
on
things
there's
just
so
many
of
them
that
don't
always
overlap
or
fit
together
very
neatly,
and
it
can
become
overwhelming
even
in
between
a
single
agency.
There's
several
plans
that
don't
necessarily
overwrap
so
I
think
this
comprehensive
plan
I
think
we're
hoping
to
make
it
a
tool
that
can
fit
those
into
a
more
coherent
and
organized
framework.
E
That
would
allow
stakeholders
such
as
Community
boards
to
easier
reference
and
kind
of
identify
how
the
city
pearl
Hall
agencies
are
talking
about
key
issues.
What
kind
of
stats
or
kind
of
indicators
and
benchmarks
people
are
using
and
kind
of
remove
one
level
of
or
one
sort
of
barrier
or
jargon
that
can
get
in
the
way
of
planning
on
a
more
local
effort
as
well.
C
G
It's
richling,
but
you're
good.
Actually,
thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
it's
great
any
attempt
at
comprehensive
planning.
I
think
in
the
borough
or
the
city
is
fantastic.
I
I
too
I
think
quick
questions.
This
first
one
you,
you
sort
of
started
addressing
and
the
answer
you
just
gave,
but
maybe
it's
helpful
to
articulate
anyways.
G
E
Yeah
I
think
more
or
less
if
I
understand,
you're
right,
I
think
that
that
is
a
good
example,
beginning
of
an
example.
I
think
one
example
I
think
I
can
provide.
Is
you
know?
Let's
say
there
is
in
the
context
of
a
u-lib
recommendation.
Let's
say:
there's
you
know
a
project
that
is
proposing
a
change
to
an
industrial
business
Zone
within
Brooklyn
and
is
proposing
a
change
away
from
a
manufacturing
land
use
for
this
site
or
for
a
part
of
the
whole
area.
I
think
both
Community
boards
applicants
TCP.
E
Anyone
will
be
able
to
reference
the
plan
and
see
that
the
Brooklyn
Borough
president's
comprehensive
plan
says
that
we're
looking
to
maintain
industrial
jobs
in
Brooklyn
and
that
you
can
have
a
degree
of
predictability
that
like
because
of
that
recommend
because
of
that
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
It's
unlikely
that
the
Brooklyn
president's
office
is
going
to
recommend
you
know
getting
rid
of
manufacturing
land
land
use
within
the
borough,
so
I
think
it
can
provide
a
guidepost
for
that
kind
of
process.
E
I
think
the
two
other
sort
of
areas
we've
identified
for
where
the
rubber
hits
the
road
is
sort
of
advocacy
and
budget.
So
there
the
plan
will
also
kind
of
be
a
document
that
shows
what
we're
going
to
be
advocating
for
within
the
city,
but
you
know,
maybe
perhaps
in
Albany
as
well,
for
what
what
policies
we're
supporting,
what
policies
we
want
to
and
what?
What
kind
of
issues
we
want
to
see,
advance
and
then
budget
priorities
as
well.
E
I
think
is
the
is
the
Third
Kind
of
area
the
the
pro
president's
office
does.
Have
you
know
discretionary
budget
allocations
as
well
and
and
kind
of
has
input
and
oversight
over
the
budget
resolve
we
provide
testimony
at
budget
hearings
at
city
council,
so
identifying
budget
priorities
is,
is
also
something
that
will
be
done
in
the
plan
is
kind
of
an
Implement
implementation
tool
that
makes
sense.
G
That's
great,
thank
you
and
then
my
one.
Other
quick
question
is
just
a
process
question
which
is,
as
you
continue
to
sort
of
solicit
feedback.
You
know,
there's
so
much
information
and
so
many
different
topics
in
this
in
this
plan
and
the
overlap
and
complicated
ways.
How
can
us,
as
like
a
everyday
community
board,
member
or
constituent
like
give
sort
of
smart,
meaningful
feedback?
Is
there
are
there
kind
of
things
that
the
office
is
looking
to
hear
from
Community
boards
or
from
individuals?
At
this
point
that
feels
actually
relevant
or
meaningful
to
you.
E
Sure
yeah
I
mean
I,
think
you
know
I'm
eager
to
share
the
digital
tool
with
you
to
because
I
think
one
way
that
I
like
how
it's
been
designed
is
that
it
gives
the
opportunity
to
give
very
detailed
feedback
on
a
particular
topic.
But
then,
if
you
don't
have
comments
on
another
topic,
it's
an
optional
field.
You
don't
have
to
it's,
not
all
or
nothing
so
I,
think
and
I
think.
The
letter
that
community
board
14
sent
to
us
in
the
existing
conditions
report
was
great
it
you
know.
E
Most
people
did
not
send
nearly
that
level
of
thorough
comments
to
us
and
it
was
really
fantastic
and
I.
Think
one
theme
that,
in
one
line
of
questioning
we're
really
trying
to
encourage
from
that
phase
of
the
process,
still
is
kind
of
just
looking
at
areas
where,
like
does
this
data
match,
with
your
ex
experience
and
or
expertise
of
your
community
and
of
Brooklyn?
That
was
one
big
question
is
that
we
presented
a
lot
of
data
and
existing
conditions
report.
Part
of
the
questions
was
what's
missing.
E
What
data
do
we
not
pull,
but
also
what
data
doesn't
match
with
what
you
see
or
what
you've
experienced?
I
think
that
question
is
going
to
remain
very
key
throughout
because,
as
you
said,
with
there's
just
so
many
different
topics
and
areas
being
touched
here
there,
it
will
be
really
valuable
to
have
those
things
squad
for
us
things
that,
don't
quite
add
up
or
things
that
maybe
flew
under
the
radar.
D
I
I'm
also
a
CFE
member
anyway.
There
I
have
two
very
Divergent
questions
comments.
One
is:
has
there
been
any
look
at
a
correlation
between
the
many
hospitals
in
Brooklyn
that
have
closed
in
I,
think
the
past
20
years
and
health
disparity
Health
outcomes,
because
I
think
that
that
that's
something
that
somebody
needs
to
actually
take
a
good
look
at.
D
E
Yeah
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
I
know:
we've
been
trying
to
examine
I,
think
the
question
of
potential
overstaffing
or
under
resourcing
of
hospitals
I.
Think
Hospital
closures
is
a
great
extra
layer
that
we
that
wasn't
included
in
that
so
far,
we've
been
working
with
one
of
our
partners
is
Niam.
The
New
York,
oh
I'm,
blanking
on
the
medical
assistant
Association,
is
helping
us
with
surpass
a
lot
of
the
medical
data
to
because
there's
lots
of
different
alternative
measures.
E
D
A
lot
of
the
require
you
know,
mining
of
various
toxic
chemicals
in
and
of
themselves,
listen!
Okay!
Now?
What
do
you
do?
You
know,
20
years
from
now
these
batteries,
you
know
where
these
solar
panels
are
going
to
be
dead.
The
wind
turbines
are
being
made
out
of
materials
that
can't
be
recycled
and
wind
up
in
landfill
and
there's
a
lot
of
environmental
impact
there
of
a
different
sort.
It
may
not
be
polluting
the
air
in
the
same
way
that
fossil
fuels
do,
but
it's
going
to
have
another
environmental
impact
down
the
road.
D
If
we
don't
really
think
through
what's
being
used
in
in
manufacturing
and
what
happens
to
these
things,
when
they've,
you
know
lived
their
their
life
and
that
that
and
the
other
concern
is
if
wind
turbines
are
being
put
in
the
water,
what's
their
impact
on,
you
know
various
you
know
sea
animals,
thinking
about
the
the
horseshoe
crabs
that
come
out
to
to
breed
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
Thank
you.
E
D
E
Violence
from
or
injuries
and
deaths
from
cars
are
still
present
in
very
real
health
risk
and
problem
with
electric
vehicles.
So
I
think
that's
one
key
area
where
we've
really
looked
to
emphasize
decreasing
the
amount
of
vehicles
on
and
decreasing
the
speed
of
vehicles
in
the
borough,
rather
than
encouraging
just
switching
to
electric
vehicles.
Overall
I
think
that
it's
an
excellent
point
to
look
at
potential
pitfalls
or
you
know,
cost
benefit
of
turbines
and
solar
as
well.
D
J
J
That
data
seems
inconsistent
to
me
from
what
I'm
seeing
anecdotally
right.
We
have
53-foot
trucks,
Etc
et
cetera,
I,
don't
need
to
go
into
it
and
then
on
another
respect,
to
ask
Community
boards
to
think
about
land
use
policy
based
on
a
borrow-wide
comprehensive
plan,
isn't
really
something
that
speaks
to
locality
right.
So
when
we
sent
you
our
letter,
we
sent
me
with
13
page
table
of
how
we
would
apply
the
social
and
determinants
of
Health
to
the
comprehensive
plan
or
the
existing
conditions.
J
So
what
might
be
okay
or
what
might
work
for
one
part
of
the
borough,
isn't
necessarily
going
to
work
in
our
district,
so
I
guess.
My
first
question
is
when
you
are
done
collecting
data
when
your
digital
tool
is
open,
we
can,
when
we
can
actually
see
all
of
the
subgroups
of
your
goals.
Do
you
plan
on
looking
at
each
Community
district
and
parsing
that
data
further?
J
By
saying
this
is
how
we
feel
you
might
benefit
from
what
we
have
discovered
in
our
existing
conditions
and
what
we
are
capable
to
capable
to
do
in
our
goals,
because
all
we
can
do
now
is
look
at
what
you
gave
us
and
then
apply
it
to
what
we
know
about
our
district
and
those
don't
always.
Those
aren't
aren't
always
going
to
work
because
we're
looking
at
a
Borough
and
we're
looking
at
a
district.
Thank
you.
E
E
You
know
the
many
people
have
been
asking
for
more
granularity
for,
like
the
the
CO2
emissions,
PM
2.5
as
well.
Differentiation
between
you
know
the
source
of
contaminants,
and
sometimes
this
data.
Just
this
level
of
detail
just
doesn't
exist,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
be
advocating
for
is
is
better
collection
of
this
data,
because
it
is
immensely
frustrating
that
sometimes
this
data
just
isn't
being
collected
or
published
adequately,
whether
it's
by
the
city
or
the
state
so
agreed.
E
Certainly
on
that
point,
I
think
to
your
second
question.
I
think
our
goal
for
the
land
use
Frameworks
is
along
the
lines
of
what
you're
outlining
I
don't
know.
If
we're
going
to
delineate
it
by
community
board
by
community
board,
we
can
it's
definitely
not
ruled
out.
I.
Think
the
certainly
you
know
one
I
when,
when
I
deal
with
the
framework
is
that
you
know,
if
you're
so
for
a
community
closer
to
the
BQE,
the
the
healthy
streets
and
environment
framework
would
be
particularly
applicable.
E
I
mean
I
think
because
you
know
the
the
adjacency
to
BQE
to
the
higher
levels
of
admissions
to
the
number
of
you
know:
53-foot
trucks
going
through
the
area
on
the
way
to
an
IBC
or
erasmia,
so
you've
come
Maritime,
Industrial,
Area
and
then
in
some
areas
or
in
different
neighborhoods.
You
would
see
that
you
know.
We've
had
a
lot
of
housing
growth
in
the
last
10
years,
like
the
the
housing
and
parking
demand
management.
I
E
E
So
it's
very
helpful
to
know
that
that
sounds
like
it
would
be
of
interest
to
you
or
would
be
helpful
to
have
it
at
that
unit,
because
we
definitely
want
to
kind
of
encourage
that
kind
of
localization
and
picking
which
parts
of
the
plan
are
more
applicable
in
different
parts
of
the
borough,
because
it's
yeah
absolutely
true
that
it's
not
a
uniform
situation
across
the
borough.
Different
things
will
be
more
applicable
than
others,
so
yeah
definitely
want
to
pursue
that
kind
of
localization
of
how
the
plan
would
apply.
J
Thank
you,
you
know
I
mean
community
board.
14
is
different,
I
mean
you
received
this
letter
with
a
13-page
table
and
we
have
a
really
good
handle
on
you
know,
making
an
application
between
your
data
and,
what's
going
on
here
and
I,
think
that
if
you
do
get
to
the
point
that
you
can
delineate
it
by
Community
District
throughout
the
borough,
it
would
be
beneficial
just
in
general,
because
then
you
are
informing
other
community
districts
of
of
where
they
are
in
time.
J
We
have
a
good
idea
of
where
we
are
in
time.
We,
you
know,
perhaps
like
a
little
more
guidance
on
how
we
would
be
assisted
by
the
Borough
president
in
in
solving
our
problems,
but
just
in
general
you
will
find
that
perhaps
other
community
districts
would
really
benefit
from
that
delineation
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
thoughtful
comments.
B
Hey
folks
good
evening,
so
it's
Alicia.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
and
then
Brett.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
as
well.
I
have
a
question:
could
you
by
chance
go
to
the
Decks
that
had
the
I
think
it
had
the
Frameworks
mapped
to
the
other
items,
I
think
it
was
in
the
beginning
of
the
presentation.
Yes,.
E
B
That
was
the
one.
Yes,
this
was
the
one
yeah
yeah.
So
basically
the
question
I
had
here
was
just
what
I'm
seeing
here
right
like
these
were
the
seven
goals
and
it
was
showing
an
example
of
the
mapping
to
help
the
wellness,
and
so
the
question
I
had
for
you
was-
and
you
may
have
said
this
already
I
apologize.
B
My
question
for
you
is:
is
this
just
showing
that
for
each
of
the
other
three
Frameworks
it's
going
to
be
a
one-to-one,
or
is
it
possible
that
there
can
basically
be
many
relationships
between
these
right?
Because
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
there
are
so
many
factors
that
have
relationships
to
each
other?
Essentially,
my
question
is
this
goal
one
environmental
conditions
that
Master
Health
and
Wellness?
B
Would
that
mean
that
there's
also
a
goal,
one
that
maps
to
something
similar
for
degree
in
economy
right
and
then
in
turn,
as
as
the
borough
president's
office
is
thinking
about
that?
Are
they
looking
at
the
situations
where
there's
either
cross-pollination
or
some
correlation
between
them?
That's
my
question:
that's
it.
E
E
E
They
think
some
things
won't
apply
to
every
single
framework,
although
they
do
apply
across
multiple
of
them,
but
yeah
I
think
it's
I
think
this
kind
of
mapping
is
meant
to
illustrate
how
it's
not
mutually
exclusive,
like
the
goals
and
the
the
land
use.
Frameworks
aren't
neutral
exclusive.
It's
not
quite
as
exhaustive
as
you're
saying
with
the
one-to-one,
where
each
objective
fits
in
each
categories,
but
that
is
a
very
I
mean
it's
given
me
a
lot
of
ideas
right
now,
as
you
raise
that,
if
that
makes
sense.
B
I
I'm
sorry
I
must
have
her
at
the
office.
Thanks
for
your
presentation,
I
had
two
questions.
The
first
is
the
plan
that
you've
put
forward
seems
very
dependent
on
the
ibx
in
terms
of
envisioning.
What
Brooklyn's
future
is
going
to
look
like,
and
so
how
much
of
the
plan
is
really
contingent
on
the
ibx
becoming
reality,
and
is
there
associated
work
happening
at
the
borough
president's
office?
I
To
that
end,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
both
of
mine
at
the
same
time
and
the
second
one
was,
you
had
said
that
part
of
what
this
plan
translates
to
concretely
is
advocacy
and
budget
and
I
was
wondering
if
it
also
translated
to
advocacy
in
terms
of
legislation,
Beyond
necessarily
like
really
straightforward
land
use.
You
are
things
whether
that
is
like
legislation
around
tenant
rights
or
legislation.
Around
sort
of
anything
that
could
have
to
do
with
what's
mentioned
in
this
plan,.
E
E
Through
all
the
tools
that
we
have
I
think
you
know
that's
going
to
span
across
different
levels
of
government.
You
know
the
MTA
being
a
state
Authority,
and
you
know
the
bus
lanes
requiring
a
both
work
by
dot
to
manage
the
actual
surface
of
the
streets
and
the
MTA
to
design
the
actual
routes
and
service
patterns.
E
For
instance,
you
know
HRA
human
rights,
our
human
resources,
association
with
cities,
building
a
new
office
out
by
Broadway
Junction.
The
ibx
would
connect
more
people
to
HRA
better
resources,
but
if
not
planned
deliberately,
if
the
streets
and
the
connections
and
kind
of
livability
and
open
space
of
the
area
is
not
planned
deliberately,
that
will
really
get
in
the
way
of
unlocking
the
potential
of
that
sort
of
connection.
E
You
know
with
multi-metal
modal
Freight
opportunities,
but
similarly
not
having
delivered
a
careful
planning
for
the
future
could
also
lead
to
squandering
some
of
those
opportunities.
So
we
are
definitely
advocating
for
the
ibx
and
see
its
benefit.
That's
not
we're
not
building
the
plan
solely
on
the
idex
and
I
think
we
also
are
mentioning
a
lot
because
kind
of
as
I
was
hashing
out
with
those
two
examples.
E
The
second
question
I
think
about
sort
of
implementation,
I
think.
Yes,
the
advocacy
piece
does
certainly
relate
to
legislation
and
whether
that
means
eventually
sponsoring
legislation
or
I'm
sort
of
using
the
voice
and
the
bully
pulpit
of
girl
Hall
to
encourage
legislation
that
we
want
passed
at
the
city
level.
E
So
definitely
not
ruling
that
out
and
the
other
sort
of
implementation
measure
that
I
would
highlight,
along
with
the
two
you
identified
with
budget
and
advocacy.
Is
you
know
public
approvals
and,
like
you,
work
in
land
use
is
definitely
one
implementation
measure
we're
we're
seeing
as
kind
of
like
the
three
big
prongs
of
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
for
this
plan.
F
And
thank
you
Brett
for
the
presentation
very
helpful
to
sort
of
give
us
a
framework
to
what
to
look
for
when
the
plan
is
released.
So
just
a
couple
of
questions.
First
I'd
just
like
to
Echo
chair
Brown's
comments
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
helpfulness
for
us,
particularly
for
future
land
use
actions,
since
we
ourselves
will
be
framing
any
decision,
you
know
any
decisions
on
recommendations
in
a
district.
You
know
construct
that
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
for
us
moving
forward,
but
related
to
that.
F
My
first
question,
so
you
had
mentioned
that
we're
a
president's
office
is
going
to
be
using.
This
document
is
their
framework
for
weighing
in
on
future
land
use
actions.
Does
that
also,
then
apply
to
community
boards?
Where,
in
terms
of
our
recommendations
that
we
we
will
be
preparing,
do
you
foresee
the
borough
president's
office
expecting
to
see
that
sort
of
language
and
that
sort
of
framework?
When
we
present
our
recommendations
to
you,
you
know
in
you
know
in
any
sort
of
action
that
we
see
no
I,
think
it's.
E
I
think
it's
just
yeah,
providing
more
transparency,
predictability
and
accountability
for
our
land
for
our
Euler
recommendations
both
so
you
applicants,
Community
boards,
other
parts
of
the
process
will
know
what
to
expect
from
us,
but
also,
if
there's
an
instance
where
there's
a
project
coming
lines,
and
you
can
look
at
a
previous
precedent,
you
can
look
at
the
community
the
comprehensive
plan
and
say
well,
according
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
this
recommendation
should
be
something
or
that
we
expect
from
this
recommendation.
You
know
this
is
not
what
happened.
F
E
I
mean
I
think
you
know
we
would
certainly
not
turn
anyone
away
from
considering
these
recommendations
in
their
recommendations
for
sure
I
think
we
want
to.
You
know,
share
what
language
we're
using
how
we're
thinking
about
these
plans,
but
yeah
I,
don't
know.
I
I
can
just
say
that
you
know
it's
not
we're
not
looking
to
dictate
Community
boards,
you
let
recommendations
for
them
for
sure.
F
And
then
okay
and
then,
secondly,
because
you
know
we
it
looks,
sounds
like
we
will
have
a
comment
period
for
for
a
period
here.
But
you
know
it
is
rather
aggressive.
Considering
I
think
what
the
the
size
of
this
document
may
look
like,
because
I
guess
we'll
we'll
be.
You
know
we're
under
a
month
already
to
to
win
that
charat
Town
Hall
may
occur.
E
F
E
J
Thank
you
yes.
Well
just
thank
you
for
recognizing
me
again,
I
think
Mr
Alvarez
brings
up
a
really
great
Point.
The
digital
tool
is
going
to
open
on
May
31st
Community
boards
go
into
Hiatus
in
June,
so
it
would
be
a
really
amazing
if
the
borough
president's
office
can
think
about
it.
Not
only
is
it
living
document,
but
you
know
in
this
in
commenting
on
the
digital
tool.
Perhaps
we
have
phases
right
because
you're
only
giving
us
30
days
to
effectively
to
look
at
the
document
to
comment
and.
J
Here
I
mean
we
look
at
everything
very
critically,
so
we're
not
going
to
respond
to
you
in
10
days,
so
to
get
to
have
it
in
phases
right
to
think
about
we're
going
to
have
phase
one
of
comments,
phase
two
of
comments
and
perhaps
just
bring
it
through
to
when
Community
boards
come
back
in
and
perhaps
close
in
November.
But
you
know
you
don't
want
to
wait
for
all
this
data.
J
I
know
that
you
want
to
keep
working
so
phase
it
out
right
so
give
us
a
month
for
phase
one
and
then
perhaps
working
throughout
the
entire
summer
and
then
fall
just
so.
You
are
effectively
getting
the
best
of
us
and
I
I
just
want
to
thank
Mr
Alvarez
for
bringing
up
this
concept
that
you
know
there
is
a
very
small
window
and
it
should
be
a
living
document.
Thank
you.
E
K
Yes,
I
came
from
a
doctor's
appointment,
so
I'm
a
little
late,
but
I
proved
through
the
slides
on
the
from
the
YouTube
as
I
was
getting
off.
The
train
I
saw
that
there
was
Talk
of
not
creating
more
street
parking
and
using
Transit
oriented
development
to
try
to
get
us
towards
more
sustainable
modes.
K
K
K
You
know,
create
those
parking
spaces
that
they
see
fit,
but
knowing
that
this
often
really,
you
know
the
the
force
parking
creates
increases
in
rent
overall,
because
it's
space
that
can't
be
used
in
the
building
in
other
ways
and
being
in
a
housing
crisis.
I
was
just
kind
of
wondering
if
there
was
any
consideration
to
that.
In
these
recommendations,
thank
you.
E
Yes,
certainly
happy
to
say
that
you
know
eliminating
parking,
minimums
I
think
is
among
one
of
our
recommendations.
We
do
recognize.
You
know
that
it
is
it's
a
factor
that
drives
up
the
cost
of
construction
and
housing
and
makes
it
harder
for
to
be
more
affordable
to
to
rent
at
more
affordable
rates,
makes
it
harder
to
build
and
also
induces
presence
of
cars
in
our
streets.
So
that
is
definitely
one
area
that
is
present
in
our
recommendations.
C
C
F
Okay,
yeah
I
just
want
to
Echo
thanks
again,
for
it
very,
very
helpful
for
us
tonight.
Okay,
so
we'll
move
on
then
to
our
second
agenda
item
tonight
we
have
with
us
William
coach,
a
our
one
of
our
2022-23
fcny
planning
fellows,
who
has
been
working
on
a
project
specific
to
our
district
regarding
affordable
housing
inventory.
So
he
is
here
tonight
to
present
his
findings
and
what
we
can
take
away
and
move
forward
with
with
this
new
Fountain
of
information.
F
H
H
The
affordability
in
looking
at
the
affordability
programs
is
one
of
the
impetuses
that
that
was
around
from
the
start
of
this
project.
So
that's
that's
the
component
of
it
as
well,
and
then
the
capacity
is
something
else.
That's
trying
to
take
a
little
bit
of
a
look
at
to
shed
some
light
on,
as
just
sort
of
how
built
out
is
everything
within
the
current
current
zoning.
Are
there
you
know
where
the
opportunity
or
potential
to
to
expand
housing
looking
ahead
to
the
Future?
H
So
that's
the
that's
the
project,
so
I
will
try
to
to
get
through
all
that
and
with
some
without
talking
for
too
long
as
I
have
a
tendency
to
sometimes
do
so.
I'll
try
to
be
efficient
here,
so
first
off,
just
kind
of
straight
numbers.
District
has
just
under
165
000
residents
and
and
62,
and
a
thousand
and
some
change
housing
units.
Looking
at
that.
H
As
of
the
2020
census,
the
the
increase
in
population
was
about
two
percent,
since
the
20
between
the
2010
and
2020
census,
which
is
a
Which,
is
less
than
population
city-wide,
which
I
think
you
saw
actually
in
the
previous
presentations.
Looking
at
one
of
those
one
of
those
Maps
they
had.
The
district
has
seen
quite
as
much
growth
as
some
other
areas
in
the
borough
and
across
the
city,
and
the
housing
units
were
actually
up
about
about
three
percent.
So
a
similar
number
is
the
population.
H
This
line
here
is
Flatbush
and
Midwood,
and
this
whole
group
is
was
those
deemed
to
be
kind
of
more
even
distribution
of
income,
so
a
more
balanced
income
not
heavily
skewed
to
one
end
or
the
other
of
the
income
Spectrum.
So
this
was
from
a
report
in
2015
looking
at
some
more
recent
recent
data,
kind
of
updating
that
still
within
Community
District
14.
still
have
a
fairly
even
distribution
and
not
heavily
skewed
to
any
one
band
of
income
distribution
here.
H
So
this
is
up
through
data
up
through
2020
and
the
median
income
then
was
just
a
small
amount
under
the
city-wide
medium
income,
as
well,
so
a
fairly
economically
diverse,
District
and
looking
from
there,
though
at,
and
how
that
the
affordability
of
Apartments
and
the
rates
being
charged
for
for
rent
within
within
the
district
there's.
You
know
this
is
kind
of
what
essentially
I
wanted
to
point
out
with
this.
H
This
table
here
is
for
the
end
of
the
income
Spectrum
that
is,
at
the
lower
end,
a
relatively
small
percentage
of
units
within
the
district
rent
for
at
levels
that
are
affordable
to
kind
of
these
very
low
income,
extremely
low
income
bands
that
are
50
or
less
of
the
area
median
income,
because
that
can
be
a
little
abstract
I
try
to
just
as
an
example
what
those
levels
are
along
here
at
the
bottom
for
a
three-person
household.
So
this
is
these
lower.
H
Here
you
see
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide-
has
a
little
bit
over
half
of
households
pay
more
than
30
percent
of
income,
which
are
the
kind
of
federal
HUD
level
threshold
for
being
considered.
Rent
burden
and
then
out
of
those
30
percent
of
households
pay
a
50
or
even
more
of
their
income,
which
is
a
level
that
tends
to
be
deemed
extremely
rent,
burdened
or
heavily
rent
burdened
and
and.
H
H
Looking
at
some
Trends
in
affordability,
this
is
looking
at
a
some
rental
data
for
the
media
and
asking
rents
Based
on
data
from
Street
Easy.
The
dashed
blue
line
here
that
you
see
at
running
across
the
top
is
for
Brooklyn
as
a
Borough
and
then
the
other
four
colors
of
lines
here,
which
are
all
generally
trending
pretty
much
in
the
same
similar
Trend.
Those
are
by
neighborhood
Flatbush,
Midwood,
Ditmas,
Park
and
Prospect
Park
South,
so
neighborhoods
within
Community,
district,
14.
and
I.
H
H
Still
the
kind
of
median
asking
rents
are
a
bit
lower
than
than
the
median
value
for
for
Brooklyn
as
a
whole.
However,
the
Gap
has
been
closing
somewhat
over
this
time
period,
where
it
was
closer
to
initially
more
like
60
percent,
roughly
back
in
2012
and
and
is
risen
faster
in
neighborhoods
within
Community
district
14,
so
compared
to
the
median
across
the
borough.
H
There
are,
there
has
been
about
500,
affordable
units
that
have
been
preserved
under
various
programs
since
2014
and
through
2022
in
the
preservation.
It's
mostly
this
tax
program,
that's
article
11,
which
is
operates
with
non-profit
Housing
Development
Fund
corporations
doing
that
work
and
you
can
kind
of
see
the
the
distribution
as
most
those
units
have
kind
of
been
between
very
low
income
and
moderate
up
to
moderate
income
level.
I
H
H
H
H
So
some
of
the
data
I
tried
to
look
at
also
specific
projects
within
Community
district
14.
A
few
here
that,
as
you
know,
I'm
sure
that
you
haven't
had
a
district-wide
rezoning
that
would
include
mandatory
make
mandatory
inclusionary
housing
required
just
generally.
So
it
has
there's
relatively
few
projects
within
the
community
District
that
have
that
have
been
subject
to
mandatory
inclusionary
housing
requirements
for
affordable
housing,
but
there
have
been
a
few
rezonings
based
on
with
the
mih
requirements.
H
The
Kate
and
flats
project
had
the
highest
number
was
100.
Affordable
has
the
highest
number
of
overall,
affordable
units
that
were
added,
and
that's
so
out
of
that
319
number.
That
is,
that
project
alone
accounted
for
255
of
those
those
units,
and
that
was
a
project
that
used
this
article
11
tax
incentive
and
and
for
development
or
tax
exemption
for
development
by
a
Housing,
Development
Fund
company,
and
you
can
see
the
income
distribution
that
those
or
the
levels
of
affordability
within
that
project.
H
So
there
are
a
significant
number
of
those
units
are
for
moderate
and
middle
income
or
affordable
to
moderate
and
middle-income
households
and
oops.
Sorry
I
didn't
mean
to
quite
Advanced
that
in
and
a
smaller
percentage
at
the
at
the
lower
at
the
lower
end,
and
then
a
couple
of
projects
here
that
are
at
rezoning
is
approved
that
are
have
market
rate.
So
the
green
here
is
the
the
just
market
rate.
H
The
last
thing
just
to
touch
on
briefly
is
some
of
information
about,
because
the
current
zoning
and
capacity
for
expansion
of
housing
within
the
district-
and
so
let
me
zoom
in
here
I
think
I
could
zoom
in
a
little
bit
to
make
this
maybe
more
readable
to
everyone.
But
this
map
is
just
of
the
zoning
within
the
district
to
to
kind
of
see
areas.
H
District
are
zoned
to
the
lowest
lowest
density,
zoning
at
0.5
or
0.75.
That
really
is
primarily
just
a
single
family.
A
single-family
zoning
and
you
can
see
just
with
the
table
here-
is
just
pointing
out
that
that
that
lowest
0.5
far
zoning
accounts
for
over
a
third
of
all
the
Lots
in
the
in
the
community
district
and
and
then
another
15
on
top
of
that
so
getting
to
about
50
percent
at
either
0.5
or
0.75
density,
zoning.
So,
and
so
that's
essentially
zones
R1
through
R5
and
the
zoning.
H
But
just
a
couple
things
that
I
wanted
to
to
mention
is
things
that
kind
of
occurred
to
me
as
as
looking
ahead
with
as
you
get.
If
I
get
this
report
to
you
and-
and
you
have
a
chance
to
look
at
it
and
reference
in
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
occurred
to
me
to
be
thinking
about,
or
maybe
that
are
be
useful
to
think
about
for
the
future
here.
H
One
of
those
things
is
just
especially
from
the
last.
The
last
slide
is
how
might
growth
be
achieved
in
in
housing
growth,
given
the
given
the
capacity
the
or
the
built
out
capacity
in
the
district
already?
Would
there
be
zoning
changes
needed
if
you
were
looking
to
allow
additional
housing
or
additional
density,
or
could
it
be
done
within
existing
existing
parameters?
H
I
think
we
just
saw
from
the
the
presentation
on
on
the
borough
president's
comprehensive
plan
that
absolutely
something
that's
being
thought
about
at
that
level
of
talking
about
transitorian
and
development
and
and
distribution
of
building
everywhere,
I
think
was
I
saw
on
one
of
those
slides.
Another
example
of
that
is
just
you
know:
the
New
York
State
housing
compact
that
the
governor
has
put
forward.
It
doesn't
sound
like
these
targets
are
going
to
go
through
if
the
state
does
eventually
pass
a
budget
that
I
know,
which
is
a
couple
weeks
late.
H
Now
it
didn't
sound
like
they
were
going
to
include
this,
but
at
least
it
was
proposed
and
the
governor's
plan
that
targets
of
something
like
three
percent
housing
growth
over
three
year
period
for
Downstate
suburbs
and
and
in
New,
York
City.
So
by
comparison,
the
community
board-
Community
District-
saw
about
three
percent
growth
over
10
years
versus
a
three-year
period
previously.
So
so
that
might
be,
it
might
be.
I
H
Less
growth
in
level
of
rents
so
seems
to
be
more
more
research
and
data
coming
out,
saying
saying
things
like
that,
which
may
may
be
a
cause
to
at
least
think
about
how
how
you
might
be
able
to
grow
in
the
future.
The
other
thing
to
mention
is
just
from
one
of
those
slides
I
mentioned
some
of
the
affordable
units
created
under
the
421a
program.
H
To
note,
as
you
may
already
be
aware,
that
program
expired
last
last
June,
so
projects
that
hadn't
started
their
foundation
work
as
of
last
June,
currently
won't
be
eligible
for
that
that
program
anymore,
which
allowed
or
which
allowed
tax
exemptions
for
a
period
of
time
in
exchange
for
providing
a
certain
percentage
of
affordable
units.
It
is
also
used,
quite
often
in
inclusionary
housing
to
help
make
those
projects
with
affordable
units
pencil
out.
So
there
are
a
number
of
arguments
both
for
and
against.
H
It
sounds
like
everything
I've
heard
about
the
state
budget
negotiations.
It
sounds
like
that
won't
be
coming
back,
at
least
in
this
year's
state
budget,
even
though
there
have
been
some
advocates
for
it.
I
think
there's
also
been
some
opposition,
so,
but
with
that
program
no
longer
being
in
effect
and
also
j51,
which
deals
with
preserving
some
units,
affordable
units,
it
might
be
worth
thinking
about.
How
does
that
affect
financial
viability
of
of
of
affordable
housing
production
within
the
district?
And
what
would
that?
How.
F
F
D
D
You
know
you
use
the
three,
the
three
three
person
in
the
family
model
and
we're
talking
about
families
that
may
have
10
or
12,
or
even
more
people
in
the
family
being
a
mother
or
father
and
the
kids
and
there's
just
nothing
being
built,
and
so
that's
driving
a
lot
of
people
into
the
situation
of
saying.
Well,
they
can't
they
can't
find
anything
they
can
afford.
They
can't
afford
to
buy,
and
so
they
are
simply
moving
out
of
the
area
going.
D
Upstate
or
to
other
you
know
even
to
other
cities,
because
they
can't
afford
to
stay
in
Brooklyn
and
and
have
you
know,
breathing
room.
So
that's
just
an
observation
on
my
point
on
my
part.
I
think
that
something
that
needs
to
be
considered
in
terms
of
housing,
that's
being
built
is:
are
the
sizes
of
these
units,
realistic
relative
to
the
needs
of
the
community
and
doing?
Is
there
a
need
and
the
way
to
make
more
affordable
housing
that
also
can
accommodate
larger
families?
Thank
you.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
comment,
and
yes,
I
definitely
agree
in
a
piece
of
this.
That
has,
it
always
been
good,
easy
to
find
a
lot
of
data
on,
but
but
yeah
the
the
breakdown
or
the
the
cross-section
of
of
sizes
of
units
to
accommodate
a
variety
of
of
household
sizes.
Is
you
know
an
important
aspect,
I
think
and
I
agree
totally
with
with
your
comments.
So
thank
you.
A
When
we
talk
about
overcrowded
and
rent
overburdened
and
then
also
substandard
rental
units
in
the
district,
it
again
sort
of
underscores
the
need
that
just
isn't
being
met
super
quickly.
So
just
just
to
suggest
maybe
additional
background
backdrop
to
to
some
of
these
figures.
As
as
you
finalize
the
report
and
then
quickly,
you
might
not
have
it
now,
but
I
wonder
if
the
zoning
and
housing
capacity
person
advantages
that
you
presented
if
you
have
a
Borough,
wide
or
city-wide
comparison.
H
Oh
yes,
well!
Well,
thank
you
and
yes
to
answer
the
the
question.
I,
don't
have
right
in
front
of
me.
The
the
data
but
I
do
have
the
data
on
that
can
compare
that
to
yeah
to
put
it
in
context,
and
so
there
are
several
of
of
those
data
points,
including
and
I'll.
Make
sure
I
include
that
point
about
the
about
the
zoning.
H
But
there
are
several
of
those
types
of
data
points
that
I
want
to
well
or
will
or
do
have
that
data
for
for
the
city
and
Borough
wide
to
give
comparative
points
because
I
know,
as
we've
talked
I
know,
it
seems
like
that's
something
that's
useful
for
you
to
be
able
to
compare
to
give
other
community
districts
and
across
the
city
to
be
able
to
say.
Oh,
we
are
here's.
H
K
Hi,
thank
you
so
much
Greg
thanks.
So
much
for
this
presentation.
I
had
just
two
questions
about
kind
of
relating
again
to
the
the
population
growth.
One
was
just
do
we
know
if
the
City
generally,
where
you
know
areas
where
there
was
more
population
growth
if
it
was
correlated
to
increased
housing
capacity
or
if
it
was
more
correlated
or
overcrowding,
and
second
I,
just
also
wanted
a
note
that
you
know
I.
We
we
don't.
K
We
are
missing
kind
of
a
you
know,
I
think
and
to
Nina's
Point.
We
do
seem
to
be
missing.
You
know
sizes
between
small
apartments
and
large
homes
in
our
district,
like
there's
less
stock
in
that
from
my
understanding,
but
I've
also
noticed
that
it
you
know
many
of
my
peers
and
other
young
folks
in
the
city
have
had
a
lot
of
trouble
finding
out.
Like
a
small,
you
know
small
housing
from
their
own,
so
you
know
so
I
just
wanted
to.
You
know
to
note
that
there
might
be
a
balance.
K
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
insight
or
data
on
you
know
how
many
of
the
maybe
more
family
size
units
are
being
taken
up
by
more
young
professionals
living
together,
because
they
don't
have
other
options
where
they
can
maybe
live
alone.
You
know
potentially
versus
you
know.
If
there's
just
more
demand
you
know
versus.
K
If
there's
you
know,
if
it's
you
know
families
entirely
just
taking
you
know
if
that
trend
has
changed
over
time,
you
know
just
to
get
a
better
Insight
of
like
what
kind
of
housing
units
you
know
we're
missing
because
it
might
be.
You
know
it.
I
could
see
both.
You
know,
I've
seen
both
of
these
issues.
I've
both
seen
families
struggling
to
find
a
large
enough
unit.
K
H
H
Whether
you're
these
are
the
people
in
the
household
are
related
individuals,
you
know
it's
a
family
unit
or
or
relatives
or
whether
it's
you
know,
maybe
just
roommate
types
of
situations
and
what
what
percentage
of
those
there
are
in
different
units.
I
can
I'm
happy
to
try
to
take
a
look
and
see
if
I
can
find
that
find
that
data,
because
I
yeah
I
definitely
understand
the
point,
and
then
that
would
be
an
interesting
data
point
to
have
I
agree.
H
K
It
was
just
if
there's
a
if
you
know
we
had
it
sounds
like
we
have
a
smaller
population
growth
than
the
rest
of
the
city
was
that
in
in
other
parts
of
the
city
was,
were
they
building
more
units
where
there
was
a
larger
population
growth
or
was
it
just
more
like?
Was
it
more
of
an
overcrowding
issue,
because
I
know
that
you
know
our
our
neighborhood
our
areas?
H
Yeah
I
I
think
the
there
may
be
some
of
both
I
think
is
probably
the
answer.
I
think
there
is.
There
are
certainly
a
number
of
areas
where
there
have
been
much
more
significant
growth
in
in
housing
or
development
of
new
housing,
and
so
those
areas
did
tend
to
then
see
more
more
population
growth
and
I'd
have
to
look
at
the
actual
overcrowding
piece
of
it
to
see
on
measures
of
overcrowding.
F
J
Hello,
first
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
this
work.
It's
it's
really
going
to
inform
us
for
years
to
come,
and
we
so
very
appreciate
you
and
what
you've
done
and
then
just
to
preface
what
I'm
going
to
say.
I
respect
your
academic
timeline,
and
so
anything
I'm
going
to
suggest
is
is
is
just
about.
J
J
J
So
a
case
study
on
something
like
that
would
be
very
interesting
again,
respecting
your
academic
calendar
that
would
that
would
really
sort
of
highlight
the
size
differential
and
the
other
thing
that
I
love
to
think
about
in
a
study
like
this
is
in
the
discussion.
You
offered
two
questions
as
part
of
your
discussion,
but
I
would
I
would
love
to
see
like
shoot,
the
moon.
J
What
would
solve
this
problem
and
the
problem
is
quite
vast
right-
we're
looking
at
land,
affordability
and
we're
looking
at
Labor
we're
looking
at
materials
all
of
those
things
culminate
into
what
is
the
rent
roll
going
to
look
like
in
a
building?
So
you
know
if
you
shot
the
moon
and
thought
about
the
most
innovative
ways
you
can
solve
problems
in
terms
of
construction
or
making
units
more
affordable
to
build
and
to
rent.
J
That
would
be
really
interesting.
I
mean
you
know
it.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
really
anything.
That's
realistic,
but
just
you
know
the
seeds.
You
know
thinking
about
this
discussion
aspect
of
what
your
project
is,
and
these
in
terms
of
looking
all
of
the
things
that
I
saw.
These
are
things
we
can
probably
do
better,
because
if
we
don't
have
421a
anymore
and
we
don't
have
j51,
there
might
need
to
be
some
kind
of
subsidy
somewhere
in
the
process
somewhere
in
the
pipeline.
J
H
F
B
Hey
thanks,
Craig
and
so
definitely
I
want
to
Echo
everyone's
thoughts.
Bill.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this.
This
is
very
thorough
and
it's
definitely
a
lot
to
chew
one
and
there's
deeper
levels.
I
have
a
I,
have
a
question
for
the
group
and
so
Bill.
One
of
the
slides
that
struck
out
to
me
was
the
one
where
you
had
the
percent
breakdown
of.
B
Just
looking
at
this
stuff
and
I'm
just
thinking
in
The,
Darkest
Timeline
I,
look
at
this
and
I
go
if
there's
a
way
for
me
to
Swindle
a
group
of
people
out
of
their
homes
and
them
not
even
realizing
they'd.
Given
me
the
deed,
then
that
would
mean
and
I
would
have
the
right
to
buy
it
up
those
lots
and
do
what
I
need
to
right.
So
it's
just
it's
just
a
it's.
B
A
nefarious
thought
exercise
and
I
apologize,
but
is
just
make
I'm
looking
at
this
map
and
I'm
just
thinking
if
there
really
is
no
place
to
build
than
in
a
dark
timeline,
an
alternative
is
for
me
to
find
a
way
to
steal
what
what
people
own
and
once
I
steal
it
from
them.
Then
I
can
do
what
I
want,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
could
do
is
then
build.
You
know
some
big
lot
and
charge
whatever
I
want.
That's
it
just
food
for
thought.
F
Thank
you,
Carl
yeah
I
mean
I.
You
know
was
sort
of
curious
as
well.
With
sort
of
you
know,
looking
ahead,
maybe
not
necessarily
in
the
nefarious
vein,
but
just
just
in
terms
of
you
know,
based
on
what
you've
seen
in
the
trends
over
the
course
of
you
know,
looking
at
us
back
in
the
last
10
years
or
so.
If
you
do
see
any
potential
trends
that
may
continue
within
our
district.
F
H
The
answer
is,
I,
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
do
have
some
data
on
that
that
I
can
can
look
back
to
and
and
provide
but
yeah
that
is
something
I
have
about.
There
is
some
data
out
there
on
I
think
it's
not
perfect
data,
but
there
is
some
data,
a
number
of
units
that
have
been
D
yeah
under
deregulated
and
lost
rent
control
or
rent
stabilization,
so
yeah
to
provide
that
data.
F
Appreciate
that
yeah
I
see
that
both
Michelle
and
Joanne,
you
put
some
further
information
in
there
about
the
point
that
Carl
made.
So
it's
it's
certainly
an
issue.
That's
worthy
of
continuing
monitoring,
all
right,
so
I
don't
see
any
further
questions,
so
I
think
if
there's
nothing
further,
we
will
thank
bill
again
for
all
of
his
hard
work
as
part
of
this
report,
and
we
look
forward
to
the
final
version
when
we
see
it
shortly.
So
thank
you
so
much
again,
Bill.
