Daniel Goldstein agrees to sell, Round IV
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Goldstein, Foe of Ratner, To Leave Apartment In $3 Million Deal
Goldstein said the fight against Atlantic Yards as such is not over and that the development should not have been proposed in the first place. However, he says, “my main priority now is finding a new place to live for myself and my family.”
Gawker, Last Pure Man in Brooklyn Sells Out
Sellout news! Daniel Goldstein, the last Brooklyn guy who'd refused to sell his homes to make way for the massive and inevitable Atlantic Yards project, is selling his condo to the developer for $3 million—more than five times what he paid for it just seven years ago.
...Goldstein fought the good fight and we're not knocking him one bit; we would have sold out long before bidding hit the $3 million mark. If nothing else, idealism can be used for economic gain!
set speed aka onehansonplace.com, Daniel Goldstein strikes it rich
The last holdout in the Atlantic Yards fight against Ratner cashes in with $3MM. Well-deserved, since his sweat equity was worth so much more than anyone else's. Wonder where he's going to move to.
