New Development coming to Brooklyn's Park Street?

Not many people live in the neighborhood today. They've been relocated over the last decade or so. I think the blocks between Park and Riverside are down to four remaining residences.  My guess is they won't be there long when the higher property taxes start adding up.

Yeah, sad, but that is what is allowing the bulldozers to come in, no one there to fight for the old structures.

We can't let those buildings be torn down one by one.

Why not? It happened in LaVilla, one house at a time, it happend along Myrtle Street, and it happened along Riverside, all in the form of "Progress". In the end there are not enough people to raise hell about the buildings to really matter. No one really cares who lives in the neighborhood and that....is the real crime.

Are you aware the city spent about $20 million to buy and raze property in LaVilla during the Austin administration as part of River City Renaissance?   As for the others the city's out of control codes enforcement forced hundreds of other demolitions to occur for no good reason?

I drove by the other day and noticed that all that's been demolished was the one warehouse on the south side of Park and the old Atlantic Bank building across the street.  I had the impression they pretty much tore down half the buildings.  Are they going to keep the cool art deco style ones between Dora and Forest?

And pat the Austin Administration on the back as they did a helluva job razing the old structures and leaving us with absolutely no community and no plan for the future of the community. Thank you Mayor Austin and staff.
