"And use your brain. Wealthy white neighborhoods don't have their property seized because they don't need to be redeveloped. It's that simple." there is no reason to believe that the neighboring blocks (which do make up a fairly large portion of an entire neighborhood or parts of several thereof!) are in need of redevelopment. the eminent domain argument is a lie that ratner and other have fed all too many folks out there. the area is a vibrant, productive, diverse, nurturing neighborhood. excuse me (us?), if the area is not predominantly white wall street brokers or lawyers, etc. with annual earnings in the upper half of six digits while exploiting or taking advantage of others!

Sad is a tired sign off these days

We will look back at this misbegotten corporate landgrab as the beginning of the end of the Brooklyn Renaissance and NYC's 20 year economic boom, in general. Sad. Nice analysis. You really sold me on it. Sad.

This is not over by a long shot. And those that are for it--yet know nothing about it--except to use silly NIMBY comments are not even worth responding to. When you look at it from a perspective of: corporate/developer welfare; the incestuos political relationships; eminent domain (especially taking from one private entity to give to a larger private, well-connected entity; the fallacy of sports arenas, neighborhood jobs, etc...; the enormity of lies; the lack of public input; etc... it doesn't speak well for anyone's backyard. I'll say this: those that have supported it will be shamed in 20 years when this entire project has been proven to be an unmitigated disaster. I'll also say this: as someone who lives in the area, I'm resolved to it eventually happening in some way shape or form.

yeah and wait 'til they get your 'hood bob. then what?? Take a look around you. This isn't Yellowstone Park. And use your brain. Wealthy white neighborhoods don't have their property seized because they don't need to be redeveloped. It's that simple. And your "destroy whole neighborhoods" hyperbole "destroys" andy last shred of credibility.

yeah and wait 'til they get your 'hood bob. then what?? boohooey for you! unless of course, you are some smug ass living in a predominantly white or some other "protected" neighborhood that can't be touched by eminent domain or whatever lame ass excuse developers can use to destroy a whole neighborhood.
