What stood out to me about Monday’s presentation was the quote posted the third group that presented. The quote was said by a real estate agent who was for the reconstruction of Fulton Mall. She stated that they do not want the people to move out and leave the area but she wants there to be more stores that will attract more people. What I find interesting about the statement is that even though she does not want the people out but bringing in more stores such as the ones she mentioned will lead to the increase of rent making the area not affordable as it once was. Overall, not wanting the people out the area is one thing but making moves that will cause the people to leave because they cannot afford the area I another!

Also the other presentations were very detailed, it is fascinating to learn how the development of a small area in Brooklyn has impacted so many people and areas.
