The real estate industry has been in a tizzy over Mayor de Blasio, thinking that his progressive politics would squash development, but developers are likely pleased that Brooklyn councilman David Greenfield was named chairman of City Council's powerful Land Use Committee. Greenfield comes from a neighborhood known for "pragmatic politics that nets resources," and while he wouldn't comment on de Blasio's plan for mandatory affordable housing, he said that he believes that chairmen are "empowered to run committees independently."
