Q&A: Norman "The Mad Overkiller" Oder
The Real Estate Observer
Is it a short Q&A with everyone's favorite journalistic superhero, The Mad Overkiller, or Norman Oder's long-winded dating profile?
Norman Oder, the blogger behind the Atlantic Yards Report, recently had two scoops that were widely picked up by the dailies. In December, he reported that the state had reduced its estimate for net tax revenues from the project by $465 million. In January, he discovered that the Mayor's proposed 2008 budget directs an additional $105 million toward the Brooklyn arena.
The Real Estate's Matthew Schuerman recently had coffee with the guy who is showing how this project is costing the public more and giving it less.
How does Oder feel about being called "The Mad Overkiller?" How old is the Mad O? Why did he start Atlantic Yards Report? Is a book in the works?

NoLandGrab: They forgot to ask Norman Oder who he thinks will play him in the movie about Bruce Ratner's bid to use eminent domain to build a mini-Manhattan in the heart of Brownstone Brooklyn.
