It came from the Blogosphere...
Atlantic Yards Report, A modest proposal: Bruce Ratner should bunk on Dean Street
If, despite noise and disruption experienced by residents, daily life is sufficiently tolerable in the Atlantic Yards footprint, as per the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), perhaps some ESDC officials, joined by representatives of the Bloomberg administration and developer Forest City Ratner, can spend a few nights on Dean Street.
NoLandGrab: And don't forget Brooklyn Borough President and Atlantic Yards Cheerleader in Chief Marty Markowitz.
Brownstoner, Things That Go Bump in the Footprint
Bstoner tidily recaps yesterday's Atlantic Yards Report article about construction impacts and the effects on footprint residents.
The Footprint Gazette blogger added this note in the comments section:
Thanks for the empathy bxgrl. I recently had 2 different out of towners stay with me last week and they were shocked at what we deal with and appalled that this is being allowed to happen.
If you read through Norm Oder's post you can see just how foul this whole thing is. There weren't supposed to be people in these buildings at this stage in the construction, so the necessary measures to make this bearable are not in place.
Needless to say, FCR and Marty Markowitz don't give a damn, and are happy to harass us until we leave.
