To what extent do NYC's community districts represent communities of
interest? Are any of the boundaries due for change?

Brooklyn #2 -- Why are Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill joined to Fort
Greene and Clinton Hill? Should they be kept together or divided?

Brooklyn #7 -- Why was Windsor Terrace, originally with Park Slope,
grouped with Sunset Park and Bush Terminal? Should it be removed?

Brooklyn #12 -- Why was so much of Ocean Parkway connected to Borough
Park? Should it be removed?

Brooklyn #14 -- Why were Kensington (from Flatbush town) and Midwood
(from Gravesend town) combined? Should they be divided along the
freight railroad?

Brooklyn #17 -- Why was Remsen Village joined to Farragut and Rugby?
Should the eastern boundary follow Ralph Ave.?

Brooklyn #18 -- Why was Canarsie, originally separate, joined to
Flatlands, Marine Park, Mill Basin, and Bergen Beach? Should it be
divided again, along Ralph Ave.?

Bronx #7 -- Why is the Harlem River waterfront included? Should it be?

Queens #7 -- This is the most populous community district. Is it too
big? Should Queensboro Hill south of Kissena Park be shifted to #8?
Should Bay Terrace east of Clearview Expwy. be shifted to #11? Is some
other change in order?

Queens #12 -- Why was Springfield Gardens divided? Should it be
shifted out?

Queens #13 -- Why is this district so elongated? Should it be divided
at Montefiore Cemetary? Should the southern portion be joined to the
rest of Springfield Gardens?
