I vote for rawlins red. The old renderings and etching of the Brooklyn Bridge show a feisty structure with bold lines and an in your face attitude that is so, well, Brooklyn 🙂
Brooklyn Bridge:
RED please!!!
“If you wear red tonight,
Remember what I said tonight.
For red is the color that my ‘bridge’ wore”

The Brooklyn Paper has delusions of grandeur.
DIBS, only a wannabe want to paint it red (ie as you said the golden gate is already red)
I know the name of a good therapist Babs – I think she deals with monomanias.
So KPMG lied about the condo market in its survey for Ratner. No surprise there, but the ESDC was right to say this was trivial because the Rat never intended to build those condos anyway – just a frigging bball arena and parking lots, to make Brooklyn feel more like his home town. Now if Newtown Creek catches fire, we’ll know we’ve been transplanted to Cleveland.
This was never about housing, or jobs, or anything but further enriching a set of extremely corrupt individuals.
