Raze the stakes
New 'last' holdouts vs. Nets arena
NY Post

And everyone thought Daniel Goldstein was the last holdout.
Developers of the $4.9 billion Atlantic Yards project were thrown for a loop after a family emerged from a worn-down Brooklyn building last week -- and demanded more money to get out of the way of bulldozers ready to raze the block, several sources close to the project said.
The holdouts, who lease apartments at 481 Dean St. in Prospect Heights, are asking for at least $170,000 more to move out of the footprint of the Nets' new basketball arena.
"They saw that man got all that money last week and thought, why should they leave?" said a relative of Aisha Ahmed, whose ex-husband bought the building in 1988.
