🌱 Brooklyn Borough President's Comprehensive Plan + BK Man Missing

Hey, everybody! I'm back in your inbox this morning with your new edition of the Brooklyn Daily, fresh off the presses. Let's get this Wednesday started off right, with a quick review of the most important things going on around town...

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and less humid. High: 82 Low: 65.

Here are the top four stories in Brooklyn today:

1. Brooklyn borough president Antonio Reynoso discussed his comprehensive plan proposal for housing in Brooklyn that would upend the current rezoning and development process. Reynoso said he noticed "the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure process has not been producing the amount of housing necessary" to get out of the housing crisis. The comprehensive plan would allow "more responsible building." (Commercial Observer)
2. Yesterday, Sep. 13, the NYPD announced an 82-year-old Brooklyn man, Anthony Riddick, was reported missing on Sep. 8. He was last seen leaving his home in Prospect Lefferts Garden at around 1:00 p.m. wearing a blue floral shirt and black sweatpants. He is described as five feet, nine inches tall, and 160 pounds, with brown eyes and gray hair. Anyone with information is asked to contact the NYPD. (PIX11 New York News)
