$3.99/Gallon Gas Shocks Drivers
Oh fucking really, Huh?!! I see the blood has come back to your brain. I been harping on this for months
“Meanwhile the Carlton Bridge remains closed for no reason. SOOOO aggravating.”
Guess why they stop work on the Carlton St bridge. Ratnet has ran out of money! Go ahead and laugh, Goldman Sacks was going to finance 2 billion and the other 2 billion was coming from the city. There is a credit crunch going on and Ratner don’t want to get caught with his pants down!
The What (FUCK YOU)
Someday this war is gonna end….
and you two will be the first in line for nets tickets when the arena opens. save it for the next cause that comes along.
HAHAHAHAH!
They’re “making significant progress on the site each day”? Uh-huh…any other fantasies…????
And the “first residential tower…will have a significant amount of affordable housing”??? Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa snore!
Meanwhile the Carlton Bridge remains closed for no reason. SOOOO aggravating.
What it didn’t say –
“We paid $50 million less than the other guys and haven’t paid the city a dime yet. Let’s change the topic to how many units of affordable housing we might build in 10 years or so assuming we get more money from the taxpayers.”
“Mr. Riegelhaupt’s (lengthy) statement:
The reality is the project is moving forward and we are making significant progress on the site each day. Thus far we have contracted out over $42 million worth of work on the site and roughly 50% of the structures on the site have already been taken down. We have begun construction of the temporary rail yard and we expect to break ground on the arena later this year. We expect to open the first residential tower, which will have a significant amount of affordable housing, at the same time as the opening of Barclays Center. By that time we also expect to have started construction on the second residential tower which will also have a significant amount of affordable housing. The rest of Atlantic Yards, including all of the remaining affordable housing, will be built out from there.”
