File under "any irony is purely unintentional"
Jefferson St. Station
They should've been picketing Henry Ford. There is progress everywhere. There is a constant change. The issue is how to manage it. —Frank Gehry
Mr. Gehry made this remark in reaction to protesters who objected to the proposed Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn. There's nothing like labeling your opponents as enemies of progress.
NoLandGrab: We've resisted calling Frank Gehry arrogant, because, to a certain extent, the project is dictated by his client Bruce Ratner. But to label those who are against '60s-style superblock urban renewal as "enemies of progress" is ironic indeed.
