The Second Generation

Overheard by Matthew Schuerman from The Real Estate Observer:

Richard LeFrak: “If you read about all the problems that Ratner has had in Brooklyn, when they should be rolling out a red carpet for him considering what he wants to do--there is so much democracy now, what with the community boards and everybody who wants to negotiate with him, I hope he lives long enough to see it done.”

NoLandGrab: What LeFrak fails to grasp is that the Community Boards have been locked out of this process, though he's right that everyone wants to negotiate with Ratner, only many haven't been invited. Brooklynites hope that "he lives long enough to" come to his senses.
