"The apartment building under construction at 975 Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn
is the kind of project that city officials and economists say New York needs to
solve the city’s severe housing shortage.

It will have 328 new homes at rents targeting young professionals, from studios
up to three-bedrooms, with a grocery store on the ground floor.

But the ability to construct these homes, at this location, turns on a peculiar
problem: How do you also find a place to park 193 cars on this lot?"
