Agreed, though I would prefer that the construction not be high-rises as that would be significantly out of place for the neighborhood. |

Is the MTA required to adhere to the local NYC zoning regulations? That section is zoned M1-1 (manufacturing) which would seem to preclude any residential + retail development.Zoning map - http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/zoning/zoning-maps/map22a.pdf |

I assume they've already spoken to the City about a zoning change. Since the RFP includes affordable housing, it is in line with City priorities. |

If so the local NYC Councilmember has to approve of the zoning change as is the custom. I don't think 'affordable' (really low income) housing is going to be too popular in that area. |

The local State Senator disagrees with you:“This monumental project is a long time in the making and I am very pleased to see that it is finally commencing,” Senator Simcha Felder said in an announcement released on Wednesday. Felder, according to Kings County Politics, has been working to have the 61st Street site developed since serving on the City Council from 2001 to 2013. “Affordable housing is desperately needed in the neighborhood and I applaud the MTA for issuing this proposal to build new housing opportunities.” |

It's Brooklyn's Chinatown a working class nieghborhood. Think affordable housing would do well in that area. |

Yeah, but given the lack of especially affordable (by New York Standards) housing, high rises may be necessary. |
