The Brooklyn Downtown Star serves up the only detailed account we’ve seen in the local press of last week’s BSA meeting over the future of six development projects in the South Slope and Greenwood Heights. The drama is palpable:

A standing room only crowd of outraged citizens was again present, again flanked by a phalanx of politicians and community groups, but this time they had brought a few paid experts of their own. Caroline Harris, an attorney from the Troutman Sanders firm – which has its offices in the Chrysler building – had been retained by two of those outraged citizens, and she publicly taught Hornstein and his colleagues a thing or two about big-city lawyering.
“It would be a shame,” she deadpanned confidently, after having presented architectural and photographic information more thorough than any of the props Hornstein et al had on hand, “for the developer to spend all that money and build this, and then have to take it all down. So let’s stop construction now.”

Brashear and Katan are already fighting over the movie rights.
