A coalition of activists in parts of Brooklyn that includes ACORN is organizing against prolific real estate developer Shaya Boymelgreen, circulating fliers and putting up a website to stop him from developing land near the Gowanus Canal until toxins below the surface are cleaned up.

Boymelgreen, who has been called a "mega developer," has been a prolific contributor to local candidates.

This should be interesting to watch.
