News Domino Sugar Renovation Opposed By Local Pol, Daily News Can't Spell "Williamsburgh"

- People are also concerned about the gingerbread cladding.
Citing the incredible burden an extra 6,000 residents would put on an already overwhelmed L train (can you imagine 1,300 more commuters at rush hour?) Levin recently said: "It's just simply too big. Too big, too high, too many people." And that doesn't even take into account the recent approval of Rose Plaza, just down the street from Domino, an 800-unit, three-tower development. Gulp.
Look, I understand the world doesn't revolve around my quiet dog walks (it should!), and I try not to take an automatic anti-development stance, but it's hard not to be cynical when city infrastructure is deteriorating while multimillion dollar developments move ahead, making rich people just a little bit richer.
P.S. Dear Daily News, Williamsburg hasn't had an "h" in it for nearly 75 years.
