Atlantic Yards win by a mile
Today's NY Daily News lead editorial points out that:
Candidates who back the [Atlantic Yards] development won in four of the contests - and the fifth went to one of Albany's impregnable incumbents.
...
Add these election results to recent polls, and the result is the same: A solid majority of Brooklynites want the thousands of jobs and affordable-housing units that are included in Atlantic Yards. And the opponents have revealed themselves, once again, to be a small but vocal group that uses press conferences, blogs and bluster to disguise thin support in the neighborhoods they so often claim to represent.
NoLandGrab: If Atlantic Yards critics are as small and insignificant as the Daily News editorial board says, then why does the board even bother paying attention? Hey, no one is forced to read a blog. We think they doth protest too much.
Seriously, at least we aren't burning money on deceptive flyers and insuring "support" from community groups.
