"Atlantic Yards Community"
Apparently we're not the only members of the "Atlantic Yards Community" who have no sense of humor about the "'Atlantic Yards' 'Community'" (grrrr!).
Calling it "as contrived and fantastical as much of the ESDC's Environmental Impact Statement was," Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn (dddb.net) sets the record straight:
There is no such thing as the "Atlantic Yards Community." One day there may be and one day there may not be. But for now we have the Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Park Slope, Clinton Hill, Boerum Hill communities (which surround the Vanderbilt Rail Yards) deeply concerned and overall opposed to the project, two lawsuits and some drawings by Frank Gehry. What we certainly don't have is an "Atlantic Yards Community." That fantastical construct is only represented by yet to be drawn up condo prospectuses and a housing lottery system.
