The people who get the parking lot landmarked are the people across the street enjoying the nice views of Brooklyn. If it's landmarked, no one can build a tall building that would block that view.

Yeah the landmark commission goes way overboard. At this point they're trying to justify the continued existence of their jobs.

A landmark commission should still exist but this parking lot shouldn’t be part of it, heck any parking structure shouldn’t be included
