Protected Views...Justice Gone Wrong

 Justice Gone Wrong!

                                            
Hello from CORD

Here is some important information and a request from our friends and neighbors at Save the View Now: http://SaveTheViewNow.org

Danielle Cyr has asked all of us to read up on this situation and help them to fight what they rightfully call "justice gone wrong"

Ms. Cyr, an eighteen year resident of Carroll Gardens and a volunteer board member for Save The View Now is reaching out not only to raise funds but to raise awareness.

Please read what she has to say.

Dear CG CORD,

(someone) "just forwarded me your post about Brad Lander's Magic Show. You wrote about a complex issue with many moving parts and made it easy to read and comprehend the b.s. that is taking place.  Well-done!"

"I am attaching our recent fundraiser post to explain our newest issue with The Pierhouse blocking 5 protected public views in Brooklyn Bridge Park.  (The attached is only part of the story - we have 2 lawsuits going at this time.)"

"If you know anyone who might want to write a story about our issue/the attached, please let me know.  Sadly, we cannot seem to get much press about this illegal taking of 5 of the public's views for the millionaires who will be buying condos in The Pierhouse."



Thank you, Danielle Cyr!

We encourage you to send your comments to cgcord@gmail.com.
We will only reprint if YOU specifically request us to do so.  We will never print your comment without your permission. Don't be shy...this is YOUR neighborhood!

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
