‘NIMBY’ Bloomie films TV ad in Fort Greene
The Brooklyn Papers
by Jess Wislowski
Mira, mira! Mayor Bloomberg visited Ft. Greene to film a Spanish-language campaign spot in front of the local yuppie margarita hang. Never mind that the Hispanic neighborhoods are on the other side of Ratner's proposed project footprint, the production company just imported a few guys to play dominos -- Insta-barrio!
In a fit of honesty, the type that makes a spokesperson feel like they're living la vida loca, Bloomberg told residents of Ft. Greene who approached the Mayor with their concerns about the Ratner project and its proximity to local brownstone neighborhoods, "If I were in your position, I’d feel the same way."
