    I am willing to bet they didn't properly clean up in the industrial areas.

    How is a studio for $3,000 "affordable"??

      That’s for market rate apartments. The affordable ones are based on AMI and much cheaper.

      No no no, $3000 studio will cover an "affordable" unit. Suckers like myself will work their a$$ off so not_so_hardworking can enjoy it basically for free. I mean tax payers cover the missing part.

      Thisproject is lying to the neighborhood - surprise surprise - from their all white staged RE office that has zero connection with the people of Goeanus. Or with the artists. MEH.

    Living near toxic waste. No thanks, years of auto body shops dumping paint and other chems. Along with a garbage plant and scrap yard down the stream. It would be ok if it was affordable.

    I wonder how 4th Ave condo owners feel about their skyline views being blocked by new developments in Gowanus? Could be promising though. May need added Bus & Culver Line service at Carroll St.

    You'd have to pay me to live by Gowanus. It will take decades to clean that up, and I can't imagine how bad it will be when there are torrential downpours. That said, I suppose there aren't many areas left to develop that doesn't impact established residential neighborhoods. It's why more is being built out in Flushing by the Mets Stadium and the edge of the Newtown creek by Hunters Point and the north end of Greenpoint. Crazy how much has been built over there.

    Rezoning doesn't change the fact that the building is standing over a highly polluted waterway. Plus, I highly doubt that the apartments are going to be 'affordable'.

    Only 25% of the building will be affordable? So once again the Mayor lies saying he wants more affordable housing in NYC. They could have done have of the units at an affordable rate

      @@johnaltobello5095 I think you’re confusing ‘Section 8’ with public housing. Section 8 is a voucher you use for any market rate apartment in NYC.
      ‘Affordable Housing’ in this case is a lottery based on how much your income is. They range from $700 - $3k based on the bracket you fall in.
      This is also all info you can google to educate yourself on before deciding to comment and make a fool of yourself.
