There's going to be fewer concerns with this project because there is little to nothing else around the site, save for rail yards and other condos. The reason there is so much objection to anything built in Manhattan is because there are so many [rich] people living there. Besides there are a slew of developments for the community in this project. The biggest and frankly most reasonable issue IMO is the issue of transportation. The 7 Train's gonna get real full if you know what I mean, and its one of the issues preventing the Domino Sugar Factory conversion from moving forward.
