Brighton beach. By far the ugliest bustling community in the entire country. The audacity of that community being on the beach.
Bulldoze the entire community and turn it into Long Island city on the beach.
Just make sure to keep the Eastern European businesses and make sure there is a home for all the Eastern Europeans that will temporarily be displaced for construction.
Any other neighborhoods?
I got Flatbush next. Parts of elmhurst gotta go also.

South Bronx. I don't think it needs to be re-zoned (I believe it is zoned correctly), but it needs to be bulldozed and rebuilt. It needs that badly.
I agree about Brighton Beach. Small bungalows have no place in today’s NYC. Many were being replaced by larger apartment buildings until the NIMBYs complained about “out-of-context” development and the stupid city listened and downzoned the area (I believe about 10-15 years ago) so very little development since.
LESS PEOPLE. NYC is overpopulated. More than anything, we have too many low tier people.
NYC is no longer a hub it used to be for blue collar jobs of 1900s.

That and the tenement buildings in that area are all in bad shape. Even worse than some ghetto areas.
What areas do you think need to be rezoned for modern and better housing development?
It all depends on what you call modern and better housing....
I used to go to Brighton Beach in the 60's by elevated train.
Get a sunburn, do some shopping and hop back on the train
to home. Wonderful memories.Seems like a community not affected by time.
Minus a few bungalows here and there off Emmons. Some construction
on both sides of the channel but mostly unchanged. Love it just the way it is.
Not really a need to be rezoned but sunset park is my pick for a neighborhood that needs to be teared down and rebuilt from the ground up! it is absolutely filthy there.

they just need the dept of sanitation do a better job. the brick apartment buildings are fine, everything needs to be cleaned, thats all.
I work in Sunset and right now they are doing all the infrastructure from 39th - 45th 1ave - 4th ave.
right now everything is a mess and parking is beyond a nightmare.
I think Borough Park is a repulsive area and needs to be bull dozed and re built, depressing, dirty, and everything negative can be said about it.
Sunnyside Yards, the area between the Navy Yard and Fort Greene, Broadway Junction, parts of Red Hook-Industry CIty.
