Comptroller Thompson Taking Second Look at Atlantic Yards
 Mayoral
candidate and City Comptroller William Thompson's visited with residents of Fort
Greene/Clinton Hill a couple of weeks ago. He repeated a comment he made in May
that he is "not sure what that
[Atlantic Yards] project is any longer." And then the formerly unconditional
project supporter added something showing further evidence that the political
tide has broadly turned against Ratner's Folly:
Thompson
has his say
Stephen Witt. Courier via YourNabe.com
...Opposition to the Atlantic Yards project was immediately brought up by long-time
community activist Ruth Goldstein, who is also on the board of Development [sic]
Don’t Destroy Brooklyn – the controversial [sic] anti-Atlantic Yards organization.
...
“Right now I don’t know what Atlantic Yards has become,” said Thompson. “I’m
concerned that the project [as proposed] can be done and I’m taking
a second look.”
(Emphasis added)
On a side note, only a pro-Atlantic
Yards reporter (working for Rupert Murdoch) would call Development
Don't Destroy Brooklyn controversial while never modifying Forest City Ratner
with anything other than "developer."
