In the Park Slope/Windsor Terrace area, a parent found out that his child was one of 47 on a waiting list for P.S. 107, which did not have a waiting list last year, and nearby schools like P.S. 10, P.S. 295 and P.S. 154 didn't have space for his kid, either. The story notes that when P.S. 133, on 4th Avenue and Butler is completed in 2013, it is expected to alleviate overcrowding issues in the area, while Councilman Brad Lander has the following to say: "A lot of new buildings have gone up in this neighborhood, and a lot of new families have moved in...Unfortunately, in the big picture, it seems like we didn't do enough as a city to create the infrastructure for growth before the growth."
A lot of people think things will only get worse. What's your experience been?
