Two maps of blight: what a difference a railyard makes
Atlantic Yards Report
Since no one has attempted to develop the Long Island Rail Road's Vanderbilt Railyards, should they be considered "blighted?"
What would happen if the railyards were not deemed "blighted" (see map for comparison)?
The Blight Study's conclusion that the project area “is characterized by blighted conditions that are unlikely to be removed without public action,” wouldn't stand and there would be little justification for the use of eminent domain on the remaining private properties.
NoLandGrab: Has anyone heard of a "Blight Study" that didn't find blight?
