More carelessness from the Times: three mistakes, one sentence

Atlantic Yards Report

The headline is true. In what could be some kind of Atlantic Yards media coverage record, The NY Times managed to make three boo-boos in one sentence.

Here's the sentence from last Saturday's Real Estate section:

The project in Yonkers is almost as large as the development proposed for the Atlantic Yards in downtown Brooklyn, which has been described as the biggest project in that borough’s history and is one of the biggest ever in New York City.

Can you spot the errors? [Hint: The much larger Atlantic Yards project is located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.]
