As expected, yesterday Brooklyn's Community Board 13 recommended that the city alter its Coney Island rezoning plan to allow for bigger retail buildings?in fact, they want stores four times the size of the city's plan. Uh, OK. But they just want to "create flexibility" for businesses, you see, not bring in big-box stores. Said one boardmember, "We don't want Costcos. We don't want no Wal-Marts in Coney Island."
