Court Battle with Westhab (AGAIN)
📣 Court case has been adjourned until 10/08
This is an outrage
of the highest order
Safety First
The lot that contains 2114-2154 Coyle street was approved to be affordable housing by the City Council and Community Board 15. But after the approval, Coyle Street LLC sold the lot to Westhab, who decided to build a large-scale homeless shelter.
While we do not oppose homelessness, having a homeless shelter nearby schools and daycare centers raises concerns about community safety regarding children and the elderly.
Who's at faultWho's Responsible for This?
A "non-profit" called Westhab Inc that claims to help the homeless
These greedy communists have decided to invade our own neighborhood
