Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn

The NY Times has a fluffy article today about the blogging boom in Brooklyn. Astoundingly and inexplicably, the article makes no mention of Atlantic Yards, the borough's biggest and most controversial development plan, and the two influential, widely-read blogs it has spawned: Atlantic Yards Report and NoLandGrab.

It's not whining to suggest that there is something wrong with this omission; an article on blogging in Brooklyn without mention of these two essential and extraordinary blogs is like an article on Atlantic Yards without mention of Bruce Ratner, or a Times article about Atlantic Yards without disclosure of the company's business relationship with Forest City Ratner.
