During Tuesday’s City Council Land Use hearing, Vernikov signaled her support for the revised rezoning proposal at 2501 Coney Island Ave. — one that will allow only four stories comprising 27 units and 35 parking spaces, down from the original proposal of 11 stories with 60 units and 24 parking spaces.
Car-brains aside, this smells like corruption. 7 floors of an avg of 5 apartments per floor amount to only 4 parking spots per the same floor? Wtf are they parking in those spots? Something doesn’t add up. Over here we had the reverse problem: greedy developers signed for plans with x apts and y parking spots, only to convert the lower floor garages into extra minuscule apts after construction started.

Speaking of Coney Island and corruption
There’s a shitty developer trying to bulldoze the heart of Coney Island (the amusement park, museum, theater, etc) to build a shitty casino. Literally no one in the community wants this and we’ve been fighting back, but the city doesn’t care about what the locals want. Article
Coney is my performance home so I’m trying to raise awareness
