Cons
From Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's web site:
The Times' Sunday real estate section highlights a condo for sale (link) at $800 per square foot in the Newswalk building right smack in the middle of the BLIGHT known as the "Atlantic Yards" footprint. Looks like even the Times considers the potential project the actual blight:
...PROS: With floor-to-ceiling windows and views of treetops, church steeples and the Statue of Liberty, this apartment has a fully updated kitchen and bathroom.
CONS: Although the apartment faces away from the new Atlantic Yards development area, the building is near the construction site.
PRO: The Atlantic Yards plan hasn't been officially approved, so the "construction site" does not yet exist.
CON: If AY is built, the view of the Statue of Liberty will be replaced by views of the arena and several highrise towers (oh, well).
