"This is what the city is wasting time and taxpayer money on," one neighbor told Brooklyn Paper, highlighting frustration over municipal responses to community-driven projects.
Another called the move a "huge travesty for the community," emphasizing the importance of the makeshift pond in attracting families and fostering local pride.
Local residents created the 'Bed-Stuy Aquarium' by turning a leaking pit into a goldfish pond, aiming to create a joyful space for families and children.
Despite concerns for the fish's safety and municipal objections, organizers continued to advocate for the pond, even starting a GoFundMe for better habitat construction.
