I'm all for development but let's use some common sense here shall we? For lack of a better term, downtown Sheepshead Bay can’t handle 750 more cars a day.

I knew there was a catch. I actually thought the idea of them offering space to the community was great... but something seemed askew. I also thought the tower would make the building a lot larger than zoning allows (though I couldn't find square footage for the residential part), so I wondered how they planned to get around it. Thanks for solving that mystery. Gene: Ahah! I knew there was a catch. I actually thought the idea of them offering space to the community was great… but something seemed askew.
