Brian Lerer on WNYC.

Now we'll take a look at how Mayor Adam's City of Yes plan to fuel housing development is playing out in one neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Things are kind of hot in this neighborhood,

and it's why we chose it. Although the city council still has a few months to decide on the fate

of city of yes, the proposal is already a factor in a dispute between residents of Windsor Terrace

and a plan to build 240 units in that neighborhood. Joining me now with his reporting

on the controversy out in Windsor Terrace. Brooklyn is David Brand, housing reporter for WNYC

and Gothamist. Hi, David. Welcome back to the show. Hey, Brian. Thanks for having me. So why

don't we start with a look at Windsor Terrace for people who aren't from around there,

aren't familiar with it. Can you be our tour guide through the neighborhood? What's the current

state of housing and demographics in that neck of the words? Sure. So Windsor Terrace is an

awesome neighborhood. I mean, it's a lot like row houses, two, three story buildings, a lot of

professionals live there, incomes higher than, you know,

the median for the city, very close to Prospect Park, borders Prospect Park. This particular

development site we're going to talk a little bit more about is a couple blocks from

Prospect Park, also a couple blocks from Greenwood Cemetery.

It's really an idyllic neighborhood. And the controversy now is that Arrow Linen, a commercial laundry company, wants to develop up to a 13-story building on this U-shaped lot where they

currently have parking lot for trucks and their

laundry factory. What makes that kind of controversial is the size of the building. It's going to be 13

stories potentially in a neighborhood of, you know, mostly, you know, two, three, four-story buildings.

So 13 stories, 240 apartments is the stat that I have.

How many would be considered affordable or below market rate?
