Forest City Enterprises CEO Charles Ratner upbraids columnist George F. Will for a Washington Post column that attacked the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn. In a letter to The Post, Mr. Ratner complains that Mr. Will “never contacted the developer — my company — or supporters of the project, who include the governor, the mayor and the Brooklyn borough president,” and that the columnist misrepresented the use of eminent domain in the project.
NoLandGrab: Waaaaaaaaaaahhh! Chuck Ratner's crying is comical — and his complaints drip with insincerity. Will never contacted his company? So what — Forest City never reached out to the community it's planning to bulldoze. And as for misrepresenting the use of eminent domain? He's right — Will was too kind.
