		<description>We NEED more affordable homes and jobs in Williamsburg, but those future residents simply can&#039;t fit on the train as it currently stands.  And adding 1700(!!) cars to the &#039;hood isn&#039;t a solution either.

Instead of suggesting to the developer that they magically &quot;increase L train service,&quot; perhaps BP Markowitz should join us on the L train at Rush hour for a week?</description>

		<description>Diana Reyna does not understand displacement mathematics, or maybe she does and does not care about her community anymore. For every one luxury unit, 5 middle to low income people become displaced. She barely survived the election and now lives in Queens. The community she says she is looking out for has been ravaged already by her past &amp; current decisions and ineffectiveness. Displacement is in in the last phases and this may complete the process.

When all is said and done, only 50 &quot;truly&quot; affordable units (according the true income of her constituency) of undetermined size - and those will go into the infamous mysterious &quot;lottery&quot; system which no one seems to get anything from.

The developers are a Wall St. operation (CPC-non profit/CPCR- for profit). They lied to the Community (Latino included) and the Brooklyn Council People about the &quot;permanent&quot; affordability by not disclosing the 15-year cap.

They misinformed the Latino Community and Churches, and have done massive amounts of lobbying to get a few Roman Catholic Churches on their side.

They lied to everyone, the City and all the politicians they have lobbied for support, about the expected profits to justify this massive mega-project.

This all has been going on for years, but has only come to light in the last month. My God, what&#039;s next?!</description>

		<description>Hi, Just wanted to note that I am definitely not one of the co-founders of NAG.  NAG has been around since 1994, and though I am a board member and an organizer for NAG, I&#039;ve only been involved for about 2 years. Just want to give credit where credit is due. 

I&#039;m also pretty sure I&#039;m not the one who said &quot;the devil is in the details&quot; - the credit for that observation should go to Co-Chair Ward Dennis.  

However, I did say the part about knowing people who are unsatisfied with the affordable units in luxury developments! 

Thanks,
Lacey Tauber
