Ofer kicks off a short series focusing on the City Council race for the 33rd district, which has a large slate of candidates vying for the seat. We invited some of the top fundraisers to hear their vision for this diverse district covering Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Boerum Hill.
The first guest is Toba Potosky, a Brooklyn Heights resident and community activist involved in his own middle income Mitchell Lama complex and public projects from the renewal of Cadman Plaza Park to the controversial plans to fix the crumbling BQE.
Originally from Queens, Toba is passionate about holding public officials accountable and improving life for all Brooklynites.

This season, Ofer Cohen talks to leaders and political candidates about their vision as the city reopens and rebuilds.

At the nonprofit, Sue works closely with the City to help raise 11 million dollars annually and over 50 million dollars in capital funds to improve and operate Brooklyn’s 585 acre park. Seen as Brooklyn’s backyard, Prospect Park was built in 1867 by Central Park’s Frederick Law Olmsted. Much like the rest of Brooklyn, Prospect Park has experienced a rebirth.

Ofer meets with Jonathan Schnapp, founder of the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club in Gowanus. In 2011, Jonathan and his partner Ashley took a spontaneous trip to the Mirror Lake Shuffleboard Club in Florida and returned home inspired to bring the forgotten sport to Brooklyn.

Today, people from near and far come to visit and fall in love with the game and the neighborhood. The Royal Palms Shuffleboard League is the largest in the world and Ashley and Jonathan are now internationally ranked shuffleboard players. With the Gowanus rezoning underway, Jonathan reflects on the “magical” space and its place in the world and Brooklyn.…
