Fodder for "The Onion"
Don't Worry It's Just Reality: Brooklyn Edition
There are some quotes that are ridiculous you stop and check the source...is this a spoof? Sadly it isn't: Mayor Bloomberg:Bruce Ratner is as good a developer as you can find in terms of building quality projects and including the neighbors,If the Mayor's idea of 'quality' is Metrotech and Atlantic Mall, then scary times are head..and I don't mean Halloween. Including neighbors? Is the mayor at all aware that Ratner kept our community boards out of the process and all of them have publicly complained about this and have serious objections to the size of this project and the use of eminent domain? That politicians would say things like this, which fly in the face of reality indicates to me either Ratner is extraordinarily charming at Upper East Side cocktail parties (doubtful) or extraordinarily good at backroom deals (likely).
Dreadnaught apparently does not know about Ratner's Visionary Leadership...
