From Sutton Place to Second Avenue to Manhattan as a whole, luxury development must not trump community needs. You can lend your voice to the cause by signing the petition at benkallos.com/petition/SuttonPlace or contacting me at bkallos@benkallos.com. Please spread the word to your neighbors and friends so you can all be heard. To take on this issue, I will need your support.

This is our neighborhood, and it belongs to us. We cannot afford to allow luxury developments to cast our parks and communities into shadow as neighborhoods become increasingly unaffordable. Light and air should be the right of everyone, not the privilege of a few.
