Atlantic Yards Foe In Fire Fight With Neighbor Over New Home Addition
Gothamist
by John Del Signore
Daniel Goldstein can't catch a break — turns out Bruce Ratner was his good neighbor.
Goldstein has yet to even file plans for the extension, but his neighbor Kathryn Roake, an administrative law judge who's lived in her house for 22 years, says she knows what he's up to—and it's going to kill her garden.
...I said, 'You're going to wreck my garden and cut off the sunlight.' He said, 'Well, only the morning sunlight.' I said, 'That's all I have!' He asked me my name, but I said it was none of his business and walked away. Then I turned and said, 'I hope their house burns down.'" Welcome to Park Slope, Goldstein.
NoLandGrab: Look, nobody likes change, especially when it comes in the form of a home-renovation project next door. But there are probably dozens of other projects like this going on in Park Slope right now, and none of them have become fodder for tabloids and blogs.
