Recession Doesn't Dull Developement Controversy

Aside from politics and religion, few topics are more controversial in New York City than neighborhood development. Whether it's residential or commercial, for better or worse, development changes neighborhoods.

In Manhattan Beach and Sheepshead Bay, for years, most homes were small. Now, the area has seen an influx of expansion as many homeowners obtain permits to expand their houses.

Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill have also experienced significant changes, both residential and commercial. The character of local businesses has shifted from mom-and-pop operations like laundromats, delis and news stands to high-priced boutiques and chain stores.
