New opponents are weighing in against the city's Coney Island redevelopment plan. Acorn and the Pratt Center for Community Development say the plan to be changed to include more affordable housing and do more to prevent gentrification. They are pointing a finger at Taconic Investment Partners, which owns some huge Coney parcels, because they say it has a "track record' of gentrifying rent-controlled apartments. Taconic has thus far escaped some of the controversy that has engulfed developer Joe Sitt and Thor Equities. [Crain's]
