The Times editorial on Atlantic Yards: spirit without subsidies?

TimesRatnerReport

So the New York Times finally weighs in with an editorial about Atlantic Yards, and while it acknowledges some of the important changes (or, some might say, false promises) in the plan, it still maintains a vague Marty Markowitz-esque call for the plan to be scaled down, criticizes local opponents as NIMBYs, confusingly criticizes subsidies, and praises the "spirit" of the development without acknowledging the avoidance of public process.

Check out the point-by-point analysis of the most recent NY Times editorial with comparisons to past NY Times editorial and op-ed pieces.
