One-Sided Debate Over the Stadium… Continues
Brooklyn Rail: The Rail's update of recent developments in the Ratner-proposal controversy.
It is this [Metrotech] track record that has many in the area worried about Forest City’s latest proposal, the Atlantic Yards. Exponentially dwarfing Ratner’s previous Brooklyn projects, this 10-year construction project stands to bring more of the same failure, though now wrapped in dilettantish postmodern architecture. Perhaps realizing this, Forest City’s PR team seems to have mostly abandoned attempts to convince those in the community that Atlantic Yards will be engaging or in any way enjoyable for local residents. Forest City has instead turned up the volume on its promises of jobs and affordable housing.
