New Brooklyn, NY
NY Newsday, Editorial
The Newsday editorial board hasn't changed its mind about Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards project on the eve of the MTA deadline:
We can only tell you that if the MTA ultimately chooses Ratner's bid, downtown Brooklyn will never be the same. This, in our view, would be a very healthy thing.
It could morph into one of America's major downtowns - maybe. As we mentioned, Ratner's price has to make sense from the standpoint of the fiscally challenged MTA. The plan could face protracted lawsuits. And city planners must ensure that Ratner's build-out doesn't overwhelm the neighborhood's transportation capacity.
