Which Side Are You On?
The Empire Zone

A new blog tracks the positions held by Brooklyn politicians on the proposed Atlantic Yards project, so you don’t have to.You can tell off the bat that they tend both toward an anti-Yards perspective and a hard line on what it means to support or oppose the project. By their measure, you’re either for it or against it; you can’t take a little from Column A and a little from Column B. So a guy like Councilman David Yassky, who likes the project generally but says he won’t support it at the current 8.7 million square foot size, is put down as a supporter.
