There is a letter writing campaign underway in Carroll Gardens involving 360 Smith Street (which is going to have a hearing in front of the Board of Standards and Appeals) and Council Member Bill de Blasio. Here’s the latest: “”I have followed this process closely for some time. It is clear that the community has the right approach to restraining capricious development. What is more, it therefore obvious that it is the best economic interest of the community as a whole to adhere to the zoning changes that were enacted, and NOT grandfather in Mr. Stein’s design. That was the spur to the initiative, but hardly the only instance of irrational development in the area. If the councilman cannot see fit to serve the interests of his constituents that have been carefully and rationally demonstrated and passed into law, then he should resign his position and go to work for whatever agency or industry that would better serve his ambitions. That seems to have been his history in any case. Steven Hart, Boerum Hill”–GL Inbox
