Atlantic Yards is the Sore Thumb
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
DDDB plays "which of these things is not like the other" with today's New York Times editorial.
Five of the six are projects initiated by government and driven by government. Atlantic Yards, on the other hand, was initiated by Ratner and driven by Ratner. The project has been Ratner's baby from conception and if the developer can't make it happen, the state should use its "strong hand" to remove its support and push forward worthy and necessary projects over the Vanderbilt rail yards and elsewhere.
NoLandGrab: Whoops! The Times's editorial board appears to have forgotten one other thing — Atlantic Yards is the only one of the six projects being developed by its business partner.
