Bushwick Inlet Park

 * ... that although New York City's Bushwick Inlet Park was proposed in 2005, the land for the park was not fully purchased until 2016? Source: Brooklyn Paper, November 25, 2016. "Mayor DeBlasio has reached a $160-million deal to buy the final stretch of Williamsburg waterfront land the city needs to finish Bushwick Inlet Park, finally ending locals’ years-long fight to force it to honor a decade-old promise to transform the lot into a sprawling green space. [...] As a longtime local, [Norman Brodsky] wanted to see the city make good on finishing the park that it first pledged to build in 2005 in exchange for rezoning the neighborhood for luxury high-rises, he says — just not without getting a cut."

 * ALT2:... that the construction of Bushwick Inlet Park was proposed as a condition of the rezoning of two neighborhoods in New York City? Source: NY Times 2015. "In 2005, a rezoning of almost 200 blocks of Williamsburg and parts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, allowed for the construction of high-end residential buildings along the water. As part of that deal, the community was promised a 28-acre green space to be called Bushwick Inlet Park."
