Holiday cheer in Ratnerville
Fans For Fair Play:
It's now more than a month into the NBA season, and we've gone from autumn leaves to twinkly lights on Main Street.
But in Ratnerville, Bruce Ratner keeps insisting we happily accept the same grimy bag of coal he's been offering all year long.
Ratner's proposal is still what it was upon introduction at a goofball press event last December at Junior's Restaurant: 17 buildings, one arena, more office space than the Empire State Building, open space that isn't necessarily public space, no clear numbers on public money Ranter's demanding, investors fleeing, dicey financing schemes, and most of project's land still owned by people and entities not named "Forest City Ratner."
