Let's rethink Kingsbridge Armory

Posted

To the editor:

Frequently, on my way to work, I pass the Kingsbridge Armory, and I see — absolutely nothing.

I have interviewed several residents of the neighborhood, and asked them what they think of the idea of an ice skating center nearby. They looked at me as if I emerged from another planet.

It is time we abandon this fantasy, admit that this emperor has no clothes, and use this vast space for something people need, like low-cost housing.

If this seems far-fetched, look no further than Crown Heights in Brooklyn, where a similar space is being converted to just this use.
