Overdevelopment Fears in Springfield Gardens

Saturday, to some community members is a day of rest. The residents of Springfield Gardens are far beyond rest because of overdevelopment in their neighborhood. Residents rallied in the blistering cold on Saturday to protest the manifestation of overdevelopment. Contractors are demolishing a single family home with multiples family dwelling, which leads to over population.

   As a member of the community I see my dad goes through frustration every night in order to find a parking space. It is ashamed to see tax payers of the community suffer in their home while the Department Of Building let the contractors take control of the situation.  It is hard to sleep, it is hard to breath, it is hard to wake up to life with the future of our community scattered on the streets. Rules and regulation about New York City Department of Building can be found at this website.

    My question is where are the families in the multiple home dwelling going to live? The city should not be concerned about overpopulation, they tackle the lack of parking in the neighborhood.

    I live in a neighborhood that is undergoing a lot of development and overpopulation will become an issue.But they are destroying the unsightly, unoccupied building in the neighborhood and building homes that will, in the end benefit the neighborhood.
