And for all its promises, Mayor de Blasio’s strategy for building affordable housing looks an awful lot like Mayor Bloomberg’s. > “It will please big developers while offering a sprinkling of housing,” says Tom Angotti, a professor of urban affairs and planning at Hunter College and the Graduate Center, referring to de Blasio’s plan. “It’s no different than Bloomberg’s plan to upzone wide areas for high-rise development and then get a little bit of affordable housing to win over the community.” > […] > The mayor’s initiative proposes to rezone an area around the A/C and J/Z lines, which can get commuters to Manhattan within half an hour. As one community board member told City Limits last year, since Bushwick is the next stop off the J and L lines, it “just reeks of gentrification.” > “Who the plan is likely to bring into the neighborhood is anyone’s guess,” Angotti said. But he added, “the general trend is a wave of tenants moving out of recently gentrified neighborhoods like Williamsburg, or Bushwick.” > […] > While the mayor’s housing plan is anchored around MIZ, which requires developers to build affordable housing in exchange for density bonuses, it offers tax breaks, such as the controversial 421-A program, and additional tools to “incentivize” developers. These developers can even build their affordable units off-site, far from the Transit Oriented oasis enjoyed by more fortunate tenants, so long as it’s somewhere within the district boundaries. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/7/1/71c130c8953a07ca15957d91840f685be106a111.jpeg) _(from Sustainable Communities: East New York)_ ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/6/8/685d60fe4d2c9995ec1dbdeaa6096e8f03019aaa.jpeg) _Broadway Junction seen in Sustainable Communities: East New York_ ---

**The literal “Holy Grail”** of low-rise development and infill projects along Atlantic Avenue towards the Cypress Hills section. Most of these unknown to me. It’s so crazy how much has been built up here. I’m hoping the area gets better and attracts more money, becoming an offshoot of its successful counterparts BedStuy, Bushwick, and Williamsburg. ![IMG_0418](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/3/6/36fd5a896c3c1fb7fb53db019361571c577c32c0.jpeg) ![IMG_0401](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/6/e/6ee8d4749dca76457ca54ff6c14fdde0538509af.jpeg) ![IMG_0413](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/d/b/db5945f68e8d4d4be8f71e06a0b11d8cd2b089d3.jpeg) ![IMG_0408](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/2/4/24cdbab3848b486f4318acfe27bfb1a34a0ea9a5.jpeg) ![IMG_0414](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/a/5/a5f6909b7a3132f4ec5c2c1fb7b7e402b910cbb6.jpeg) ---

It is crazy. And the construction boom goes all the way to Washington Ave. in Prospect heights. ---
