Interesting AY photos. It's a shame that those train yards remain undeveloped after so many years. Thankfully, that will soon change, given the ineptness of the AY opponents' community organizing skills.

Oh the poor girl was asked to move her bike by a cop, how dare they. Her evidence of a lack of a police presence in Brooklyn? She doesn't see them that much. Was this taken from a high school newpaper? Shut up new Brooklyn.

The cyclist in the Thinning Blue Line story is the embodiment of everything that is wrong about Brownstone Brooklyn.

Forget the What. I want to know who this scumbag is so I can slap her all the way back to California or wherever the hell she is from. Pretentious, entitled, naive, clueless and self absorbed. It is THIS kind of person that is becoming the Brooklyn majority. God help us.

9:20, I couldn't agree more. WHAT is her problem? I cannot believe she put these "thoughts" on paper for publication.

She gives cyclists (and women and community liaisons for state senators) a bad name! Now when exactly is the Shake Shack coming?

Ratner is the inept one. AY has been a failure and will remain a failure until someone else takes on the project.
