Atlantic Yards would:
Contain the same amount of development as 23 Williamsburgh Savings Banks
Generate over 20,000 new vehicle trips every day with no plan to avoid gridlock
Contain affordable housing that won't be affordable to average Brooklynites
Potentially be built without significant input from New Yorkers

I am really concerned and saddened by the decision to go forward with this project. This is eventually going to elimanate the middle class. The affordable housing proposed will not be enough for those of us who are already struggling with the real estate prices and rent prices in New York. The average middle class New Yorker makes anywhere between $40,000 to 50,000 a year. This people cannot buy apartments which range in of $500,000 or more or rents of $1,500 or more. To qualify for affordable housing most applications state that you must make no more than $19,000 a year. Who in New York can live with this income. I think it is really sad what is going on in this City with regards to the middle class and lower class. NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION to this groups. This project will not help any of these groups. The jobs it will bring will not make up for the outrageous real estate and rents prices that will happen as a result.
