Atlantic Yards Poster Child Alert
Bruce Ratner has spent millions of dollars on his publicity campaign for Atlantic Yards. It proved enough to secure political support for the controversial megaproject, but, despite the money spent and the buy-in of most of the city's editorial boards, somehow "Atlantic Yards" is still poised to join Boston's "Big Dig" in the white elephant hall of fame.
From dailyorange.com, the indy student press of Syracuse:
Like the doomed monorail, Syracuse's long-touted Destiny USA project and inevitably the Connective Corridor are white elephants - excessive mega-projects designed to save the city but are doing more harm than good. Think of Boston's Big Dig or Brooklyn's Atlantic Yards.
