Daily News champions eminent domain, misreads ATURA
Atlantic Yards Report marshals Forest City Ratner Atlantic Yards Group President Jim Stuckey, Municipal Art Society President Kent Barwick, the Supreme Court of the United States and, um, NoLandGrab to rebut the Daily News's editorial on eminent domain and Atlantic Yards.
Stuckey on the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area:
About 60, 65 percent of the area fell within that urban renewal area and was considered to be a blighted area.
[That hardly comprises an entire project.]
Don't miss the rest of the AYR takedown of the News's editorial.
