Redistricting Brooklyn Meeting 7/29
When it was voting season, politicians didn’t stop calling, mailing stupid flyers, ringing our bell or e-mailing us!
Now that they are planning to redistrict Brooklyn without us.
Not one politician has invited us to the Redistricting Brooklyn Planning Session. Did you get an invitation or flyer about it?
Even weirder, NYC is having these meetings in the middle of the Summer while people are away.
Gothamist says redistricting equals POWER. See here
To speak at the redistricting meeting or give testimony, go here and choose which one you want in the blue box.
What will I be writing to them?
I was thinking something like this:
Dear NY Redistricting Commission: My local politicians didn’t tell us about this meeting. I bet they are going to give testimony, so I hope you will disregard their testimony and continue to leave Bay Ridge, Brooklyn 11209 with the current section of Brooklyn and Staten Island. We aren’t able to get help from local representatives and getting rid of the Republicans in Staten Island isn’t going to make things any better. Please just even out the districts with boxes around each community (rather than half blocks or pick and choose constituents on blocks due to their political party). One of our state representatives is accepting money from the other areas, as well as PAC money (see attached).
To submit a redistricting map, go here to upload a map.
NYS expects to have the redistricting done by January 2021.
Some Democrats want the area to be rezoned with Sunset Park, the UWS and Soho, which makes no sense at all. If you are a Republican, your district leaders should have contacted you and asked you to participate.
Senator Andrew Gounardes has been taking donations from Park Slope and a lot of PAC money, so you want to speak out against this as both Democrat and Republicans are needed in this district.
Gounardes is accepting money from a PAC that supports bail reform:
Of course that’s not the only PAC money!

Bay Ridge’s Racetrack is Open in 2021
It’s Summer and the racetrack is wide open in Bay Ridge.
Did you hear those cars roaring through the neighborhood last night?
No one is talking about it now because they are afraid they might know the person speeding!
We have laws that even a local elected doesn’t follows, so why would visitors to the area follow them?

312 – 97th Street Has Five Units Marked as Affordable Housing in the NYC Lottery
312 – 97th Street used to be where Pipins Pub was located. There are five “affordable units” in this development, which people between this income can apply to rent the units: $73,715 – $167,570.
They have two one bedroom apartments for $2,150 and three two bedroom apartments for $2650.
The income range has to do with your family size – see chart below
You can apply for this building here. There is a blue button at the bottom of the page to apply online and you can also apply by mail.

One thing that is nice is everything is new! But the term affordable housing makes people think that this is low income housing. It’s not – it new housing for the middle class. Good Luck!
