Yesterday there was word that another legal challenge related to Atlantic Yards had been denied, and construction on the complex began to inconvenience Dean Street residents. The New York State Appellate Division denied a motion for an appeal for a case that was tossed in November related to the legality of the ESDC’s relocation plan for 13 renters (12 of them rent-stabilized) in the Atlantic Yards footprint. According to Atlantic Yards Report, however, attorney George Locker plans to file the same motion before the Court of Appeals. If the Court of Appeals decides to take the case, the lawsuit could stay alive for another year, said Locker. Meanwhile, there’s an article in the Daily News this morning about how construction on the mega-project is starting to hit home for people who live nearby: Hundreds of Dean Street residents woke up yesterday morning without water as contractors began to work on replacing an old water main. “This is just the beginning, and it’s already starting up,” said one person who lives on Dean Street. “Imagine when it’s midway through the project. It’s gonna get worse.”

The Knicks are minor league at best. Wouldn’t take them either. But the Nets? Snore. Even when they were in the NBA finals, with J Kidd (one of the best players at his position of all time, though a wifebeater) leading the way, they inspired so little enthusiasm it was comical.
If you think transporting them to Brooklyn will change things, you don’t know much about sports. Doomed franchises are doomed franchises. But please go check ’em out, plenty of seats available!
“Second rate franchise.”
And what are the Knicks???
What’s being lost in the equation here is that you can take the Nets out of New Jersey… but you can’t take the “New Jersey” out of the Nets. Second rate franchise.
When someone brags to me that he “summmers in London,” I know that I’m dealing with a fool.
So Crown Heights is now a “fringe” neighborhood to AY.
Well if that’s the case then I am even more in favor of AY then ever. If the anti-AY folks think that the effects of the development will be so limited that Crown Heights barely registers a say in it, then clearly the effects will be very limited indeed.
