Because the rendering represents the super gentrification of Coney Island. The rezoning puts 26 high rise residential towers and 5,000 new units of housing in Coney Island. This hasn't gotten the attention it deserves because most of the public opposition has been to the 4 high hotels proposed for the south side of Surf Ave RE the comment “Why does the surrounding area look more like midtown
Manhattan than Coney Island?’

Is that a giant pink roller coaster encapsulating the entire amusement district, and dwarfing the Cyclone? Why does the surrounding area look more like midtown Manhattan than Coney Island? You say Tron, but I think they were aiming for Gattaca. In reality, I think it'll end up more like Blade Runner. Regardless, I think the old men that are behind these deals should get the Logan's Run treatment. ;) Wow, this is one I hadn’t seen before.
