About a month ago I read a really interesting article about the effects of the recession on all the development in brooklyn (paricularly waterfront areas like williamsburg.) A lot of projects started in the last ten years have come to a crashing halt.
Obviously these kinds of abandoned buildings aren't uncommon in any city. what I found interesting about this space was that it is in a perpetual state of a construction site, that is to say, the entire building is lit at all times, day or night. Fresh padlocks and chains block most of the entryways, and although it seems like an ideal location for squatters I found no evidence of anyone.

graffiti (twister)

basement window
wildflowers, empty lot
I have a lot more editing to do from this weekend. More to come soon.
