I'm guessing you're on the F train line, somewhere near Kings Hwy/Ave. U.
The entire zoning code for NYC is completely absurd. There are ridiculous FAR limits in the densest areas in Manhattan, huge industrially zoned areas next to subway hubs, and all kinds of wacky, nonsensical zoning. We need a quasi-dictator mayor who can ignore the "community input" (read anti-everything NIMBYism) and actually enact some real zoning changes.
