Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn has posted on its web site more evidence that the message about Atlantic Yards is finally getting through.

Andrew S. Dolkart, James Marston Fitch Professor of Historic Preservation, Columbia University speaking at a BrooklynSpeaks press conference on December 5th:

“The proposed Atlantic Yards project is so misguided and reflects such a crisis of imagination in our government leaders on all levels and in our development community. The project is ignoring what makes Brooklyn great – its scale, its low density, its intimacy. Not out of scale towers that bear no relationship to Brooklyn but could be built anywhere in the world.”
