The City Council voted unanimously Monday to rezone 206 blocks in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn.The new regulations are designed to protect the historic brownstones in the area while adding more affordable housing and greater density to Fulton Street, the main spine of the neighborhood."Bed-Stuy has been discovered," said Democratic Councilman Al Vann. "It's just like when Columbus discovered America, and the rush is on."
