Is Affordable Housing Gentrifying Brooklyn? [Observer]

The Greenpoint Community Meeting is a conversation between community advocates who have spent most of their lives fighting for North Brooklyn, area artists whose work is deeply connected to sense of place and transformation of space, but who rarely attend advocacy and political meetings, along with professionals in design, architecture and landscape architecture whose work integrally engages and serves communities.
The meeting was organized by the Institute for Applied Reporting and Urbanism with support from Susannah Drake of Dland Studio. The studio is located at Greenpoint View, a gallery at 82 Oak Street owned by sculptor Stephen Balamut, and run by Sascha Asher, an interior designer specializing in textiles.
