RATNER GETS SET TO RAZE THE HOUSE
NY Post
By Rich Calder
Gotta love those headlines. Here's an excerpt from a short item in the Post on the protest.
Demolition crews descended on developer Bruce Ratner's massive Atlantic Yards site in Brooklyn yesterday - the start of work that will see 15 buildings torn down to make way for an NBA arena and 16 skyscrapers.
NoLandGrab: This tightly worded sentence might suggest that only 15 buildings are needed to make way for Atlantic Yards. There are several buildings being condemned using eminent domain, which is the subject of one of the lawsuits.
About 100 project opponents turned out, saying the work is premature until several lawsuits opposing the plan are settled.
...
A Ratner spokesman pointed out that the 15 buildings set to be razed are all owned by the developer, but declined to comment on yesterday's protest.
