Not So Fast, Bloomberg, You Don't Get to Write the Atlantic Yards History
At Thursday's Atlantic Yards groundtaking ceremony Mayor Bloomberg, in his typical arrogant manner, said, "For those that say it took a long time to get here, yes it did. But nobody's going to remember how long it took. They're only going to look and see that it was done."
Wrong, Mr. Mayor. You don't get to write history on this one, and you'll be out of office long before anything other than the arena is built. Nobody is going to forget the fight that took place over the project, and nobody is going to forget the abuse of power the project represented.
To the contrary, historians will put the project in its rightful place as one of the biggest urban planning blunders any city has ever seen.
And we in Brooklyn will have to suffer with it while you enjoy your retirement.
