Raucous Crowd Reacts To $4.2B Brooklyn Development Plan
WNBC

Hundreds of people packed the Empire State Development Corporation public hearing. More than 300 of them had signed up to state their views on the controversial project.
An even larger number of people jammed the sidewalk outside the New York City College of Technology, unable to get into the packed hearing.

Pop singer Roberta Flack also spoke in support of the project, telling the media, "I wanna borrow a phrase from Martha Stewart, it is a good thing guys."
NoLandGrab: Ratner's new PR, er, Flack might be killing us softly, but the hearing was damn loud.
