I feel like these city officials see this city as a can and they want to see how many sardines they can stuff in the tiny can. This city was over crowded years ago, the infrastructure was just not built for all this human by product. These same sewers are going to have to be tested by more and more waste water and fecal? These city pipes are older then my grandmothers dresser, give us a break.
If this rezoning happens the rich will get richer and the streets will become more dangerous. There's all these standings and shooting in crown heights as of late, yet you look up housing prices and you can get a brownstone for close to a mil..something doesn't add up here. 50,000 displaced? That's more homeless, more crime. Survival of the fittest, when your on the streets you have to steal to survive. It's gonna be one interesting summer.

Or not. One thing keeping crime down is homeless don't survive too long. Lack of medical care, drug overdoses, violence from each other, police brutality, etc. If crime became a greater problem the city would crack down with the NYPD. Brutally.

Yes and when the dutch arrived there was only a couple Indians. Somehow we managed to get from there to here and there's plenty more ways to fit in more people
Everyone should be moving to the Rust Belt cities anyways. Cleveland, Detroit, Saginaw, Syracuse, Chicago, Dayton, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Chicago, Toledo, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Erie, Rochester, etc. are all beckoning.
That sign has been there since I was a kid. It's at the border of ENY and Brownsville...I forget what street exactly its on...maybe Sheffield and Blake or Sheffield and Sutter...
It's at Pitkin & Powell. It's on the Brownsville side of the tracks, not the ENY side.

I mean why there? There are like really bad housing projects surrounding this? I feel bad for the clueless tourist that will books in this hotel.
It's not even near the subway stations either, so you've got a good 10 minute walk to get to the (L) or (3) alongside those projects.

Canarsie. It's walking distance of the Canarsie (L) station.

Is the answer the same?
That's right by Canarsie Plaza.
Canarsie is one of the few neighborhoods that Google Maps has approximately right IMO. I might swap out the Glenwood Houses (which are west of Ralph Avenue) for the Breukelen Houses (which are centered on Glenwood Road & East 108th Street).
Once you get north of the LIRR tracks, you're either in East Flatbush (if you're west of Rockaway Parkway) or Brownsville (if you're east of Rockaway Parkway)

NYC neighborhoods do have subjective borders though, but are you saying that a lot of the neighborhood shadings are blatantly wrong on Google Maps?

I would say so. On Staten Island, most of the neighborhoods are blatantly wrong. (For example, their boundaries for Elm Park are almost precisely what most people would consider Port Richmond, and their boundaries for Port Richmond include most of West Brighton). And their "Arrochar" is basically South Beach, with a few other examples off the top of my head.
In Brooklyn for example, they have East Flatbush with a western boundary at Rogers Avenue. One of the things about East Flatbush is that most people consider the area unserved by the subway, while Google Maps has the subway directly within the boundaries! (I mean, granted the East 90s are walking distance to the (3), but even still, the station itself is in Brownsville)

Yes. More poor people making comparatively low if not really low wages. Renting out a room for yourself? Hahaha! Trying sharing a room with 2 or 3 people. It may be in the interest of certain aspects of the real estate industry to fit in even more people, but not in the interest of those people. And the next 10 years will be horrible in NYC, as you have all the retiring boomers who have jobs that pay no benefits and their social security isn't enough to pay the rent (and they never made enough to buy property here). The city is going to have to deal with all that (food stamps, rent increase freezes like the one de Blasio instituted, etc.)
