Atlantic Yards "Embattled"? AP Thinks So
Gowanus Lounge noticed that an Associated Press story used one little-itty-bitty adjective, and wondered if it could "be a clear sign that the lines in the battle for the hearts and minds of Brooklynites (and reporters) have shifted slightly."
AP wrote:
Together, Cleveland-based Forest City and Mr. Ratner have interests in 30 retail, office and residential properties, certain service companies and numerous developments in the New York metropolitan area, including The New York Times Co.’s new headquarters in Times Square and the embattled Atlantic Yards development in downtown Brooklyn, N.Y.
NoLandGrab: It could be a slight shift, but then again the AP reporter (no byline) locates the project in "downtown Brooklyn," instead of Prospect Heights, so it shows you what he or she knows.
