"Near the planned Atlantic Yards"? The Times resists another correction
Atlantic Yards Report
With one word, The NY Times made a very weird error in the caption of yesterday's "blight"-in-the-Atlantic Yards-footprint story. Norman Oder pointed out the discrepancy to an editor, but after one illogical response, the Times blew him off.
Yesterday's caption...
This portion of Dean Street, between Flatbush and Sixth Avenues near the planned Atlantic Yards, is in a part of Brooklyn that a state agency has defined as blighted.
...should read (Oder has a slightly different wording in his commentary),
This portion of Dean Street, between Flatbush and Sixth Avenues in the planned Atlantic Yards, is in a part of Brooklyn that a state agency has defined as blighted.
NoLandGrab: Since the Times's editors probably have no love for Norman Oder, it's a wonder that they haven't blocked his email address yet.
Oder does make a good point though — the fact that those buildings are in the planned Atlantic Yards means you can kiss them goodbye if Ratner gets his way with Brooklyn.
