Shrillfest: Lipsky goes shrillsky
Despite the heated reaction against the Ratner proposal, last week's best line in the "Shrill Slugfest" came from Ratner consultant Richard Lipsky of the Neighborhood Retail Alliance, who has curiously and repeatedly likened Atlantic Yards critics to the resistance against Franco, and has a talent for trashtalking his opponents:
Memo to AY Critics
One man's grass roots is another man's weeds. Wow, even Chris Smith* thinks you are all toast. See all of you "Folk Song Army" folks at mid-court for the Nets tip-off.
* Chris Smith is the New York Magazine political reporter who wrote last week's cover story highly critical of the Ratner project, but didn't give great odds on the success of Atlantic Yards critics.
NoLandGrab: Suggestion for Lipsky's next post on Atalntic Yards opponents:
Na-na, na, na.
Na-na, na, na.
Hey, hey, hey.
Go-od bye!
