Bruce Ratner Doesn’t Use Steroids, But His P.R. Machine Won’t Stop Pumping Up the Atlantic Yards Project
The Brooklyn Rail
by Brian Carreira
The Rail's update on June's development in the fight over development over the railyards includes:
- the march and rally from Borough Hall to City Hall,
- The NY Times's "lopsided" coverage,
- the Supreme Court's eminent domain decision and the resulting public backlash,
- the appearance of Ratner latest PR device, The Brooklyn "it's not a newspaper, it's a publication" Standard,
- the long anticipated Community Benefits Agreement and the problem with the PIPs (they just aren't the same without Gladys),
- the Scary Gehry photos that freaked out Brooklyn, and
- the 11th-hour Extell bid.
NLG: Whew! June was busier than we remembered.
