Community Average Folk 101
A new pro-Ratner blog has sprung up, claiming the voice of the "Community Average Folk."
The first postings are a call to "community average folk" (read: not Atlantic Yards critics), to raise their voices in support of the Jobs, Housing and Hope that Ratner's project offers and a defense of Ratner's partnership with a Manhattan-based basketball clinic operator.
NoLandGrab: Unfortunately for all Brooklynites — plain or extraordinary, old-timers or newcomers — Ratner's $3.5-billion, 8.7-million-sq.-ft. plan is anything but average. It's probably the largest and most dense private development in NYC history, whose benefits are speculative, but size isn't.
