A city-owned lot on Elizabeth Street has been marked for affordable housing since 1983, but as the years have gone by and nothing's been built, a community garden has sprung up on the lot. Now, the site is listed as a possible offsite affordable housing location for the SPURA redevelopment, which has neighbors worried that their community garden will disappear. An online petition is pleading for the garden to be saved, and Community Board 2 will "assess the best use" of the land at a November 4 public hearing. [Bowery Boogie; previously]
