Newly minted City Council member Antonio Reynoso, a Williamsburg native who represents swaths of that neighborhood and its neighbor Bushwick, tells the Commercial Observer that he wants to make sure gentrification doesn't continue to render his constituents' homes unaffordable: "I don't really care to be on the good side of developers. If a developer wants to do right by a community, absolutely we can work with them. All these developers come in, build, sell and then go. They build condos, not rentals, so they have no long-term investments in any of these communities. When they come into any part of my district, I'm going to give them hell." Fighting words.
