Repeat: "ON AND AROUND a railyard in PROSPECT HEIGHTS"
You have to give it up to Bruce Ratner, whose spin machine will keep dishing it out as long as someone is listening.
Accompanying the Associated Press report posted on WCBS.com was this description of the project in the sidebar:
The project, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, would rise above a downtown Brooklyn railyard.
The sidebar should read:
The project... would rise "on and around" a "Prospect Heights" railyard.
There's no way to scrub the trail left by the Ratner spin cycle, but maybe new reporters could check the facts, instead of relying upon the press release from a developer/state agency that will do or say anything to get final approval for Atlantic Yards.
No sense in blaming Bruce Ratner, he seems to need all the help he can get to slip this boondoggle through the back door.
