Community Garden Politics in NYC: A Very Brief Overview
Since a 2002 agreement between then attorney general Eliot Spitzer and the
City, all the small infill community gardens and green spaces which had
sprung up throughout the city over the previous decades were preserved
from development for a period of about eight years.
Prior to this time, during the Giuliani administration in a number of
highly publicized and bitterly contested actions some long-standing
community spaces were turned over to private developers on the grounds
that the city needed more housing. More often than not these locations
were in areas which probably could've used more affordable housing, even
though developers had luxury condos in mind.
The Spitzer agreement prevented that from continuing to happen until
September 17, 2010, when the agreement is set to expire.
These new proposed rules throw all that out the door, giving the City the
option to again turn over these community spaces to developers--albeit
also containing language that alternative spaces should attempted to be
provided for gardeners, which considering the time and energy spent
improving these spaces is likely no consolation for those who are
potentially affected.
