I agree, I think, with 11:47–the base is a two-dimensional (the building shadows are misleading) air-photo, but the planned development is a three-dimensional wire frame.
10:24: I think this is just a google map with the proposed skyline photoshopped on. I agree, though, that it is very misleading.
10:24. I was thinking the same thing. The the red square in the middle of the imposed buildings is the Newswalk which is a 10 story building. The buildings surrounding the Newswalk are to vary from 15-30 stories. From the imposed buildings you would think these buildings are 100 stories. Also, where are the hi-rise buildings on Atlantic and Carlton Avenue. Seems the anti -AY crowd are doing a distortion that most intelligent individuals will see right through. The hi-rise buildings on Atlantic and Carlton are 20 and 35 stories high. If they showed these buildings in there caption it would hurt their argument.
yikes how am i too see the fireworks from my roof now.
Geez, when was that downtown Brooklyn photo taken… the one that illustrate’s the Atlantic Yards Project’s size… was that taken in 1898 or somehwere near there? I mean it doesn’t show one single high rise building that actually exists in the downtown footprint. Talk about giving people a false perspective.
