Sorry, Mayor Bloomberg, even your wheeling-dealing couldn't stop this: The MTA's deal with Tishman Speyer to develop the West Side rail yards is dead. Here's the statement:
The MTA met today with Tishman Speyer. Despite the best efforts of both sides, a final agreement could not be reached. The MTA has now re-entered discussions with other interested developers and remains committed to timely development of these unique and valuable parcels of land on Manhattan's Far West Side.The MTA expressed unhappiness with Tishman's demands last week, but met with developer yesterday and again today.
Yesterday, the Sun suggested that the remaining bidders might have significantly lower bids, since the MTA has to reopen bidding.

DEAR GOD DON'T LET THIS FALL TO RELATED. THAT WAS 10,000 TIMES WORSE THAN ANYTHING THIS SIDE OF HOUSTON.
FAILCAT!
But seriously, woohoo!
What if they built a failcat sculpture instead?
Put the failcat in front of Gracie Mansion.
Come on. With as much money as Bloomie has, he can do it himself if he thinks it's so important. He's worth, what, $20 billion? Go for it. It'd be a way to keep him off the streets and out of trouble once he's out of office.
The new city mascot: Fail cat.
