Rider - I think in essence you are saying that Ratner should condemn his own development (Atlantic Center) to build Atlantic Yards. Illogical in any development plan to say the least. Your opinion on Atlantic Mall may be the majority here, but lets get real on development please.

He absolutely should have. It hasn't been able to hold a tenant, except Pathmark, and the DMV is now a major tenant. He wasnts to build up. He can start on his own property. Atlantic Center is reviled. It would've been hard to argue with the bigger plan had he chipped in his own blighted dump for redevelopment as well.
