A representative for the property owners presented the new plan for two high-rise buildings with a majority of units to be rented at market-rate, the kind of development residents had fought to keep out
That proposed project would feature 2,195 apartments, including 1,636 without price limits and 559 reserved for low- and middle-income renters under the city’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program.
“It will be like Williamsburg. You go into the neighborhood and it’s totally different,” said Olimpo Barco, a Vietnam War veteran and former postal worker who first moved to Arlington Village in 1981. “It’s going to be professional people who can afford it…. We’re the working people. They have to do more for us.”
Jessica Franco, a steering member with the Coalition for Community Advancement, a local group opposed to rezoning Arlington Village, fears that the new development will fuel more market-rate building in the area, bringing in a flood of wealthier, white residents whose tastes and buying power will make her neighborhood “look like Downtown Brooklyn.”

Where in ENY would this proposal be in? If it's near Jamaica Ave, nearby Highland Park and Cypress Hills Cemetery, I wouldn't build it there. I'd rather build a high-rise proposal nearby Spring Creek over building such a proposal nearby a cemetery, but that's just me.
I also wouldn't even think of developing Bway Jct because Bway Jct is the site of a bus depot, a train yard, industrial warehouses, and Evergreen Cemetery is nearby. It makes sense to develop Williamsburg into what it's now because of Williamsburg being close to East River but trying to develop Bway Jct into this hip district won't fly because it makes little sense to develop over there and there's really no amenities unless you consider being close to Evergreen Cemetery an anemity!
They have been building like crazy over there over the last few years. Gentrification...they keep pushing the working people further and further out.
Why are only non white/non Asian considered "working people"? When Asians are forced to buy homes and condos for nearly $1MM over the city (which usually also house their elderly parents), no one seems to care?

Atlantic Ave not too far from Conduit Blvd and J/Z train Norwood station

That’s how the Left sells their equality Marxism to the poor, by emphasizing class and race.
“You black and brown people are poor because of the racism of the wealthy whites (and Asians) and if you support (vote for) us Democrats, we will fight for you and equality.”
It works like a charm on black and brown people.
