The arena (and Atlantic Yards project) would NOT be built "over the railyard"
TimesRatnerReport
Everyone says it, but TimesRatnerReport explains why it is "imprecise" (a nice way of saying "wrong") for journalists to say that the Atlantic Yards project would be "built over the railyards."
Norman Oder suggests using, "on and around the railyard" or "over and around the railyard."
NoLandGrab: Since Ratner employees and PR batallion use the same terminology, can you blame journalists? Also, the press corps is the same group that still frequently refers to the location of the project as "Downtown Brooklyn" instead of "Prospect Heights."
