I sometimes think we have a hard time keeping the things we love, we celebrate the past but bulldoze it, again and again, and what we replace it with is never as graceful or authentic. As I look at the beautiful brownstones that are the heart of Brooklyn’s original beauty, I see them increasingly overpowered by giant buildings everywhere. I hope the brownstones find a way to survive.
