UNFIT TO PRINT
NoLandGrab and TimesRatnerReport weren't the only ones who noticed that The NY Times covered eminent domain as a development tool, without covering themselves.
NY Post columnist Steve Cuozzo sums up the case:
The Times-Ratner project is entirely the product of a widely discussed eminent-domain condemnation that took years wending its way through the courts, and whose final cost to the taxpayers is yet unknown.
No better local example exists to dramatize the eminent-domain controversy in all its textured complexity. Yet yesterday's story avoided the Times saga altogether — the proverbial elephant in the room everyone pretends not to see.
NoLandGrab: After reading Cuozzo's piece, it should be clear to Brooklynites why there has been no sympathy for arena opponents in the Editorial Pages of The Times.
