They are against the size and density, but what's new. This is the same thing that most people are against in this country. Most people like small low-rise areas to live in and want to pretend they live in the country. Most people prefer the suburban life and that's why sprawl is rampant. Many people have a suburban mentality even when they live in megacities. They wouldn't last a second in Hong Kong which is far denser than even NY.
In some cases NIMBYS are useful and we could all be NIMBY's under the right circumstances, but come on, these towers are very impressive and must be built to give Brooklyn an architectural modern core.
