See All Brooklyn Influencers

As the chairman of the powerful land use committee, Borough Park Councilman Mr. Greenfield will be required to sign off on all kinds of real estate projects, rezonings among them, giving him tremendous amount of power in a city where the landscape is forever changing. Particularly Brooklyn, whose combination of Manhattanesque desirability and far cheaper land prices makes it irresistible to many developers. It will also, most likely, be the place where many of the 200,000 affordable housing units promised by Mayor de Blasio will actually materialize.
