Dear Interested Party:
It's hard to imagine what it feels to receive a condemnation notice. In case you have never received one of these things, here's a copy of the cover letter of the notice (download full letter, PDF) hand delivered to property owners in the footprint of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards proposal.
NoLandGrab: Somehow we kind of thought that the cover letter would be a little more personal, like "Dear John Doe: So sorry, but we're gonna have to take your property," or at least "Dear Homeowner."
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn is serving notice to public officials who have made sly comments in the past about the use of eminent domain at Atlantic Yards:
For all those elected officials (for example our Public Advocate whose spokesman said "If eminent domain is part of the project she's not supporting it.") and un-elected ones, who said eminent domain would not be used for "Atlantic Yards," your notice is below.
