Meeting to discuss downzoning PLG

If you live on a residential street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens but are outside of Lefferts Manor, chances are your place has R6 zoning. This makes it possible for a developer to buy houses strictly to tear them down and erect apartment buildings as high as 12 stories. Wood frame houses are particularly vulnerable.

Anyone interested in joining forces to make sure all of the residential blocks in PLG don't get eaten by the development monster should contact us: brooklynite282@gmail.com and we'll get back to you shortly about setting a date for an initial meeting.

The goal here is to downzone from R6 to R6b. (Residents of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill are currently undergoing this battle so you'll be in good company.)
