Environmental impact? Challenges abound to state's "comically limited" process
TimesRatnerReport's dispatch from yesterday's community meeting held by Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn:
"If you like a good old-fashioned street fight, you're in the right place," trumpeted City Council Member Letitia James, leading off the community meeting last night sponsored by Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
Presentations by three graduate students from Hunter College's Department of Urban Affairs and Planning covered the eminent domain and the lack of blight, transit, parking and pedestrian concerns.
Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods' Jim Vogel outlined the community's efforts to hire experts to study the impending Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
Bob Law, a longtime community activist and radio host, spoke about Ratner's manufacturing of "so-called community support."
Ratner's PR diva, Lupe Todd, was "outed" by Fans For Fair Play's Scott Turner. Todd demurred when asked a question, explaining that she was there as a resident.
