Atlantic Yards......a bad idea
Steve Gilliard, one of the most widely respected
and beloved bloggers in all of blogdom, passed
away yesterday at the age of 41. Steve always wrote with passion and with
a deeply historical point of view on whatever topic he tackled.
On December 22nd, 2006 Steve blogged about "Atlantic Yards," in a piece
he titled "Atlantic
Yards......a bad idea." His starting point was a NY Daily News
editorial crowing about the project, titled "A groundbreaking coalition."
After excerpting a piece of the editorial, Steve went into his analysis, concluding:
...Why do you need this monstrosity in downtown Brooklyn? Who does
it serve? The five Nets fans in Brooklyn? Or rich developers, gullible "community
activists" and even more gullible newspaper columnists.
His voice will be missed. May he rest in peace.
