This article lists a littany of urban-planning concerns expressed at last week's public hearing about Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards proposal, and concludes:
Overall, the plan justifies desolate streets by promising jobs and affordable housing. Isn’t that like justifying a team that can’t pass by promising lots of slam dunks? And does anybody remember how Team USA did with that strategy in the 2004 Olympics?
