oh yes... and I would be completly for seizing the Atlantic Center, if another developer had a plan similar to Ratner's, which was dependant on that area. However, name a developer who has conjured such a development, and has the money, and the resources to get it done. This is New York... ideas and visions are constantly tossed around but never actually completed, however, Bruce Ratner has shown that he gets things done, (Metro-Tech, Atlantic Terminal, New York Times Tower etc). The fact that this is his brainchild forfills those requirements... he is the only interested developer. Need I remind you that those railyards (as well as the area that was above atlantic station) were vacent for years, and no one was interested...
