Demolitions timeline: what do "emergency" and "immediate" mean?
TimesRatnerReport
Super Norman Oder goes through court filings to piece together how Forest City Ratner got the go-ahead to start demolition before the project has been finally apprpoved or rejected.
The nagging question in the minds of Brooklynites is, if the buildings are so decrepit as to require "emergency" demolition, then why have no moves been taken to safeguard the public during the past year? Or, is this just a ploy where Forest City Ratner and the Empire State Development Corporation are exploiting a technicality in the State Environmental Quality Review Act?
TimesRatnerReport tries to make sense of it all.
