Daily News: Letter to the editor (Published)

More letters from Brooklynites were published in today's Daily News in response to Monday's Daily New editorial screed.

Crying foul ...
Brooklyn: The editorial on the Nets arena proposal ("A neighborhood grows in Brooklyn," Oct. 24) fails to acknowledge that opposition to the project dates to 2003, when it was made public. A project of this size causes problems that can cost the city and state huge sums of money. Bruce Ratner's company assumes no financial ability if it fails. The opponents are fighting for the people of the whole state.

... over stadium
Brooklyn: Re "A neighborhood grows in Brooklyn": A neighborhood already exists in Brooklyn. In fact, many neighborhoods exist in Brooklyn. The people you disparage love and respect Brooklyn neighborhoods and their neighbors. They are fighting to save civil rights: the right to own property, the right to freedom of speech and the right to a democratic process.
