The '06 pack: Battling Brooklynite
From Time Out NY (login required):
Daniel Goldstein, 36 | Daniel Goldstein is not a fan of a certain headline-making local land developer. "Bruce Ratner has left a trail of broken promises all around Brooklyn," he says. Harsh words, but not surprising given that Goldstein's Prospect Heights home sits in the path of the bulldozers that would clear space for Ratner's proposed Nets Arena and high-rise complex. But while most other residents facing the effects of eminent domain got bought out by Ratner, Goldstein, a freelance graphic designer, got organized. He's a founder and steering-committee member of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, the group leading the charge against the project—and he's practically made fighting Ratner a full-time job. "People think this is a done deal," Goldstein says. "Far from it." — Ethan LaCroix
