Neighborhood gets demolished and all they got was this lousy arena
Queens Crap
More commentary on the Atlantic Lots project:
From Develop Don't Destroy:
For his Atlantic Yards project Bruce Ratner promised a grandiose "urban room" and a tax revenue generating office tower at the gridlocked Atlantic and Flatbush intersection at the heart of Brooklyn. He also promised to build "affordable housing.”
None of that is going to happen.
...
Yes, but we already knew this, didn't we? Why aren't all the affordable housing advocates up in arms over this? Could it be because they got their payoffs in return for their support and never really cared about the actual housing?
Looks like the joke's on us taxpayers.
AGAIN.
P.S. That thing is an eyesore. It's actually bringing more blight to Brooklyn rather than removing it. Ugh.
