Gleaming Towers of Ratnerville "Caring Bruce immediately had a great idea! He’s a land developer so he always has great ideas. And a good land developer has ideas that are great for the city. If, when you think of the city, you think of the Mayor and his homies." athletes in action
MTA Backs Ratner, Sun Rises in East "Man bites dog is news, people. Dog bites man — or, in this case, favored and pre-approved dog OK’d to bite MTA — isn’t." Gawker
Brooklyn Arena Deal Greeted with Silence "We eagerly await the Brooklyn Standard's account of the [MTA] meeting. Something tells us the whole Shabnam Merchant part may get cut out." Curbed
MTA and Ratner to Brooklyn Tomorrow "Ratner's bid was recently doubled to $100 million, only after the MTA had to ask for more because a dope would be able to understand that a cash bid of $50 million is less than Ratner's rival bid of $150 million in cold hard cash money." Gothamist
