Up in arms about the Yards
A project recalls the mistakes of the past
The Economist
Did you know that, "The Atlantic Yards, in the heart of Brooklyn, are now nothing more than a sunken set of tracks where trains are cleaned?"
Or, did you know that the Atlantic Yards is a 22-acre project proposed for the eight-acre Vanderbilt Railyards and 16-acres of city owned streets and private property?
If you believed the first description, then you are probably from The Economist or work for Forest City Ratner's PR department.
Aside from that first slip, the article is a pretty good attempt at giving Economist readers a taste of the battle in Brooklyn.
