      Joe Enright, representing the Community Association of West Midwood, expresses mixed sentiments about the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity initiative. While acknowledging support for many proposals, he highlights specific concerns for the Victorian Flatbush area, particularly regarding potential changes to Glenwood Road and the impact on the neighborhood's character.

      • Raises concerns about the possibility of multiple dwellings being built on Glenwood Road, which is considered the heart of the community
      • Points out potential issues with converting about 300 garages in Victorian Flatbush into living spaces, due to their proximity to property lines
      • Expresses neighborhood apprehension about the allowance of 25-foot structures in backyards and the increase of Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 0.6 to 1.0
