Although the 15-acre Williamsburg property that Pfizer is letting go of as it says goodbye to Brooklyn seems destined to one day be turned into affordable housing, an article in the Observer notes that there’s a battle brewing about who gets to control the redevelopment. Pfizer has put out an RFP seeking private developers to build a mixed-use, mixed-income complex on the site, but Assemblyman Vito Lopez wants the state to seize the site via eminent domain and be in charge of issuing an RFP that would call for around 1,700 affordable housing units. Pfizer said in a statement that the company finds it extremely puzzling that a legislator would propose a government seizure of private property through eminent domain to ostensibly re-develop the properties with the same types of uses we are already considering. Puzzling indeed. The insidious creep of E.D.

Will Pfizer Need Anti-Depressants Over Brooklyn Property? [Curbed]
The so called community leaders who are just white collar thiefs like Kestenbaum from the ODA or Rabbi Neiderman from the UJO together with Lopez are trying now another thivery . I hope this time Pfizer will fight back these Hand in your pocket guys
4:54, I believe that the Pfizer site is in the 53rd Assembly District and even if it is just outside of the district, Lopez is the chair of the Assembly Committee on Housing.
Lopez is head of the Kings County Democratic Party. He’s on a big power trip this week too.
I don’t understand
Lopez is not a leader in the area, Annette Robinson and Joe Lentol
what have he to do with this ?
Money Graber!
So you are saying perhaps Karl Fisher won’t be allowed to build another monument to banal floorspace in Williamsburg?
Pfizer is a public company not vito lopez pocket.
He he crying for one reason, they not budge for his political ego.
Not he or Niederman the rabbi who put in money by a previous partnership with Lopez in Sheafar development.
They can protest what ever they want public support is not for them, they don’t mind the people they mind them self.
2:26 you are full of shit. It was still ineffectual no matter what it was treating. You think they asked for permission to have it approved for fibromyalgia because they are just a good company. They did it so that they could tell doctors that it has been approved for fibromyalgia.
Excpet that Lyrica had already been approved for other treatments, in both the US and Europe. Pfizer actually went beyond the normal approach in seeking extensive conditions for the new drug- normally you would just look at your best case and stop there.
And does fibromyalgia exist? I don’t think that’s been proven either. So an ineffectual drug for a (perhaps) non-existent ailment…
