Nicole Gelinas Selected Responses: Sent by Randi on 12-22-2006: Thank you for writing such a wonderful article. I'm a resident of Clinton Hill (about a mile from the project) and my heart sank when I heard that the PACB approved the project. I frequently disagree with articles on CJ, but this article hit it on the head. As a young professional who still has to live at Mom's because I can't afford a place to live in my own nabe, I don't understand the logic of bulldozing hundreds of privately owned, readily available apartments (currently sitting empty because they've been sold to FCRC) and building public-subsidized and luxury apartments that'll be ready 3+ years from now. The area surrounding the project is in desperate need of housing; any destruction to the current housing stock is foolish. Unless the plan is to shorten the supply of housing, increase demand and skyrocket prices, and force the middle class out of the nabe.
