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.”

I agree with you 3:03 & 3:13. 2:37 is a prick.2:20 waambulance. That was hilarious.
“And no grubby tenants, peasant.”
You’re quite superior, aren’t you? Could it be you have no real concern for the “grubby tenants” in the AY-footprint, but instead are concerned only about your own convenience in AY-adjacent Park Slope? In other words, NIMBY?
No auctions here pal. They are paid for and have been for quite some time now.I can afford to live wherever I please and I have. I also summer in London. The fact that you think that only a peasant would own an income producing property is absurd.What do you think of anyone who rents? You are exactly the type of person that Brooklyn does not need, and you wonder why people hate Park Slopers.
Stop all your ranting all you AY adjacent people in PH. Calm down and go take a cold shower. Oh, that’s right ,you can’t. No water. We may not be completely gentrified here in Crown Heights yet but we do have running water.I think I’ll go take a nice hot bath now.
“I’ll take my few income producing brownstones here in CH”
You can keep ’em. Once we’re in depression, your cozy little fringe neighborhood will be a shitpile once more. Nice rents you’ll get then.
Did I say I live in Newswalk? I’ve got a Park Slope brownstone just off the park–paid for. And no grubby tenants, peasant. Plus a Hudson Valley weekend home. I’ll watch the footage of your deflated brownstones being auctioned off in my home theater.
“Hey 2:01 and 2:05, you still live in Crown Heights.”
Yep, and I like it. Where do you live?
Fringe neighborhood? I”ll take my few income producing brownstones here in CH over your Newswalk apartments any day. My tenants will pay for my season tickets while you will sit choking on dust and crying over things that you can’t change. Don’t worry I’ll send you a waaambulance.
“Ah, Crown Heights. Shoulda known. Typical non-adjacent neighborhood apologist. Why don’t you sell your fringe neighborhood dump and buy one of the sweet pads in AY, clown?”
1. I’m not apologizing for anything here, nor should I.
2. I happen to love my home and my neighborhood, and I’m staying.
3. I don’t want to live adjacent to AY. I just want to enjoy the peripheral benefits. I’m in pretty good position to do that now.
4. Your mother’s a clown.
Hey 2:01 and 2:05, you still live in Crown Heights.
