Final Atlantic Yards Forum
WNYC "scooped" the rest of the local media by covering the final community forum as a race and class conflict:
Supporters - mostly minorities and from low-income backgrounds - said the project will bring good jobs and affordable housing. Opponents - predominantly white and middle class - say the construction of 16 high rises and a sports arena will hurt the environment and destroy their borough of neighborhoods by changing its landscape.
NoLandGrab: Have any reporters asked themselves why developer Bruce Ratner hasn't given financial support to white middle class groups in exchange for their support of the project?
