Here is the language in the Hunter report where they explain that the City is their client and they used their City of Yes/Transit Oriented Development guidelines to come up with their plan. You can pretend it's "just a student project," but this is work DCP would have to do anyway, they just farmed it out to a Master's program that did it for free. The next step after obtaining a Master's in urban planning is to work for DCP as an urban planner, so several people who worked on this as students will likely continue to do so as employees of the City. ...

There have been other studies like this which have come to nothing. I remember when some group commissioned by NYC proposed getting rid of all the parking spots under the 7 train in Sunnyside, which would have negatively impacted that shopping corridor.

I wonder how many, if any of the students live in the proposal area. Also as a bonus I would love to know their political leanings.

What can the residents do about it? If such a plan is submitted for approval who does the approving? Are community boards involved? Keep being informed of any true changes in our community and don’t let these program suggestions chase us out of our community

No! No! No! Please No! I wonder how many people that were involved in the Hunter project actually live in the area? How about, we fix our crumbling infrastructure first? Trains flood, roads flood, etc. every time it rains. Just what we need, more over crowding. An what about the electric grid that can not handle the current use? More electric cars, more, gas stoves, more air conditioners. Etc. Etc. Don’t even get me started on the current traffic issues in the area. And from what I understand, there are thousands of apartments just sitting empty around the 5 boros. Construction will cause more traffic. This idea is not good. Sorry Hunter!

Housing projects, low income housing. Time to get out folks while your houses still have some value.

I love the verbiage of, “our clients goals”. Their “clients” are funded by my tax dollars to which I have had NO representation. I am so tired of never having a voice.

Thes urban planning programs need to be ahut down.. they are doing great harm to cities across America Any bets most are funded by Developers, It and/or hedge funds
