FCR's Stuckey, DDDB's Goldstein in shadow debate on Brian Lehrer
Atlantic Yards Report brings us the transcript of the Brian Lehrer interviews with Forest City Ratner's Atlantic Yards Development Group President Jim Stuckey and Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's Dan Goldstein, complete with running commentary (you don't think that Norman Oder could resist the opportunity to make points along the way?).
Here's Oder's setup:
A segment on the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC radio yesterday, titled Can't See the Forest, wasn't a real debate about the newly released models of the Atlantic Yards project, just a chance for Jim Stuckey of Forest City Ratner and then Daniel Goldstein of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn to make their points--and to be questioned by the host (right).
As might be expected, there was little agreement, though Lehrer at least established that the project would be in Prospect Heights, not Downtown Brooklyn (as the developer maintains) and that the debate is between very high-rise development and high-rise development, not high-rise vs. low-rise (as the New York Times suggested).
