Ratner Is Gaining as the Nets Owner Nuzzles Advocates
NY Observer
by Matthew Schuermann
An article about the "new synergy powering some of New York’s grandest development schemes: the picketer and the developer."
According to Schuermann:
Ms. Lewis brings such moral authority to Mr. Ratner’s plan to build 7.5 million square feet of apartments and offices, along with an arena for the Nets basketball team, that it will be hard for city and state officials to do anything to block it.
The article pays respect to the ACORN-Ratner relationship, but also sums up the most recent turns in the fight over how development of the railyards will proceed.
NoLandGrab: This article, along with yesterday's Village Voice article "The Battle of Brooklyn" (July 19), is a wave of PR parading the ACORN-Ratner relationship in the NYC media.
Bertha's keeping busy fulfilling paragraph 3 of the Housing MOU.
