Judge Rejects Eminent Domain Claim
WYNC News Radio
REPORTER: Loren Riegelhaupt, a spokesman for developer Forest City Ratner, says the ruling is a green light to move forward with the massive project to building high rises along Atlantic Avenue.
RIEGELHAUPT: This decision means that we're one step closer to creating over 2,200 units of affordable housing, thousands of construction and office jobs and bringing the Nets to Brooklyn.
NoLandGrab: "Wrigglehaupt" forgot the part about being one step closer to:
* seizing peoples' homes and property, * creating massive congestion at the traffic-choked Atlantic-&-Flatbush intersection, * hoarding of massive public subsidies, * public financing of an arena, * massive garden-city high rises on protected superblocks, * building a glass and steel skyscraper over a transit hub, * increasing asthma rates in neighborhoods that have some of the highest rates in the nation, * etc.
