Boycott Plan Will Hit Ratner’s Retail Jewel
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Coverage of the Downtown Brooklyn Leadership Coalition's (DBLC) annoucement of the boycott of Ratner's malls on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, also the busiest shopping day of the year.
Members of the DBLC cited a litany of concerns, including: * Ratners refusal to continue to meet with them, * doubts that the MTA will demand top dollar for the site (despite plans for fare hikes), * backroom dealmaking between the developer and NY State, * and favoritism towards upper-income residents in the Newswalk building.
