"Brooklyn Views"
The Real Estate Observer first takes a poke at anti-Ratner sites and then reviews Brooklyn Views:
Typically anti-Ratner sites are a bit ranty, and fall back on community board and planning jargon that is too boring to sift through for most people.
In contrast:
[BV is] a rather sober architect's view--though decidedly anti-Ratner--and develops as simple and straightforward an argument against the scheme as you'll find anywhere on the Web, without a lot of vitriol. And a lot of neat little models.
NoLandGrab: Read carefully, the position of Brooklyn Views seems less "anti-Ratner" than "Why Ratner(?)."
And in our defense, NoLandGrab prefers to be called "plucky," not "ranty."
Seriously, we're glad to see that the mainstream-ish press is paying attention to Brooklyn Views, because Jonathan Cohn is making points that have been missed by the usual anti-Ratner ranters.
