A new development at 77 Commercial Street in Greenpoint?not the 10-tower megaproject known as Greenpoint Landing, but one nearby?attracted a lot of criticism at a public hearing last night. The two projects add up to 5,000 new housing units, and nearby residents as well as elected officials have concerns what that kind of population influx would mean for the area's promised park, affordable housing, transportation, firehouses, hospitals, and other community necessities.
