It came from the Blogosphere...
Velociraptor.info, Lazy web, lazy web, spin me a yarn
Velociraptor is looking for some good advocacy Google Maps and cited OnNYTurf for the Atlantic Yards map (ONYT has Yankee Stadium and Williamsburg maps now too).
On NY Turf has a couple of good maps that illustrate propose monster real estate developments, but the sad cynic in me believes that the Atlantic Yards are going to be built, all six acres of them in all their 40 foot glory. I really hope I’m wrong, but I don’t have much hope. However, if the project is reigned in at all it will be at least in part because of maps that really illustrate life in the shadow of a 40 story high rise.
NLG nominates the Eminent Domain Map from the Institute for Justice.

More evidence from the public square that "Bruce Ratner" = very bad developer:
Bruce Ratner should have set his sights on Long Island City in Queens, where apparently they'll build anything...
Don't Worry It's Just Reality, Shareholder Suit Against Nets Owner Ratner?
"Dreadnaught" dreams of a shareholder revolt against Bruce Ratner, which isn't likely because any shareholder action would have to be the result of a Ratner family feud.
