There is a new Flickr group worth chceking out called "Killing Williamsburg" which is focused on the real estate boom going on:
Killing Williamsburg
The computer rendering shown here is from that group - it has the following caption:
"This is a rendering of how my Brooklyn neighborhood may be changing in the next year or two.
Several years ago our run-down East River waterfront was top become a public park but instead 20, 30 story buildings will rise up.
I like this rendering as it shows how small a noon day shadow these buildings will cast, neglecting to depict what the other half of the day will look like."
