Bruce Ratner: Scumbag Liar
ECO BROOKLYN INC.
By Genaro Brooks-Church
Here's a pretty good rant from green builders ECO Brooklyn.
I read in the Carroll Gardens Courier that Ratner is continuing his dishonest takeover of the Brooklyn community in Atlantic Yards.
After securing a corrupt deal with the MTA where he will be allowed to buy part of their land he said of the site this week:
“….it is about affordable housing and public space. It is about jobs and opportunity. It is about creating new community in the heart of a thriving borough.”
Lies, lies, lies. It is about his profit. Period. Bruce Ratner is the antithesis of green building and the concept of Build It Forward.
He says the area will be used for sports, conventions, meeting, concerts etc. Anything where you need to put a large group of people together for a couple hours.
So how is the community around Javitz Center? A bunch of desolate concrete roads.
What about the area around Madison Square Garden? Cheap pizzerias and tourists.
