The biggest myth about the $4 billion, 22-acre Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn is that it might not get built. So it's long past time for people concerned about the complex to quit fantasizing about how to stop it and start focusing on ways to improve it.This was made clearer than ever two days ago, when federal Judge Robert Levy hammered another nail into the legal coffin of anti-project advocates by recommending dismissal of Goldstein vs. Pataki, a lawsuit by a handful of holdouts who refuse to sell their property to the project's developer, Bruce Ratner.
No, Errol, the biggest myth would be whatever you write. "U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy concluded today in his Report and Recommendation on the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss in “Goldstein et al v. Pataki et al” that he believed the case should better be heard in state court." Not dismissed.
