State of Denial at Atlantic Yards
Our Time Press
Errol Louis lets loose with another error-filled diatribe, this time with a shout-out to NoLandGrab!
Somehow, the anti-development groups fighting against Atlantic Yards have convinced themselves that helping to further the Institute for Justice’s agenda is in the best interests of Brooklyn. Thus, the anti-Yards blog called No Land Grab includes links to tee shirts sold to raise money for the Institute for Justice and uses the group’s logos.
Errol is right on this one. The Institute for Justice is just evil! Their most recent newsletter tells of a case they are working on to stop the condemnation of a predominantly working-class African-American community of 33,000 in Florida. If they could just clear out this blight, a private developer would be able to build "a yacht marina, high-end condominiums and luxury hotels." Damn the IJ for standing in the way of progress! Where will we park our yachts???
