Ratner Calls Rally In Support of...Ratner
Atlantic Yards: The so-called "done deal" that needs a rally called for and organized by the developer, Forest City Ratner.
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
DDDB provides the subtext to the rhetoric in Forest City Ratner's "Brooklyn Day" flyer.
Why would a "done deal" need such an extravagant boost? Could the developer be looking for more public subsidy, perhaps?
As you can see above, developer Forest City Ratner is holding a "Brooklyn Day" celebration and rally at Borough Hall on June 5th to "support the Atlantic Yards project and The Nets moving to Brooklyn."
In other words…the developer is organizing a rally to support itself.
We at Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn would like to provide a realistic picture of the Atlantic Yards proposal, which is not available on the flier...a look at the status of their project that removes the rose-colored glasses.
Quite frankly, the project is nothing to celebrate.
