Atlantic Yards Still Largest Project on the Table
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Dennis Holt
No sense in ripping into an opinion piece that locates Bruce Ratner's controversial 22-acre Atlantic Yards plan in Downtown Brooklyn — it's in Prospect Heights folks, despite what Bruce Ratner, the City and Mr. Holt claim (link).
And yes, Atlantic Yards is larger than any project that's actually slated for the Downtown Brooklyn plan, where there's plenty of "economic benefits" to go around, without having to take private historic homes on Duffield St. (see, Duffield St. Underground, More proof that eminent domain is not needed on Duffield), for hoteliers like Sam Chang, who contribute to Borough President Marty Markowtiz's campaign war chest (see, The Brooklyn Paper, Marty Money Misses Mark).
