I’m going to go way out on a limb here and let you know maybe more than I should… I am confident now more than ever that the deal in Brooklyn is just not going anywhere. I think there’s going to be a comeuppance very soon where the team is going to go up for sale. That’s my prediction–I really do believe it. I’m working on this issue more than I ever imagined I would, because the Nets in Newark would have a significant game-change, in terms of the energy and the excitement and the job opportunities and economic investment in our downtown. So it’s something I’m working on a lot. I’ve watched the deal very closely. I know people that are involved in the deal. It does not look like it’s going anywhere in Brooklyn. — Newark Mayor Cory Booker on WGBO radio

  1. Hey What…did you see my post in the OT about foreigners’ purchases of treasuries?? Also Consumer Confidence number today back up to pre-Lehman levels!!!!!

    DIBS tosses What some Skittles.

  2. If anything, people did NOT buy in the AY area, especially on the Prospect Heights side. The thought of endless construction, dirt and noise scared off many people from otherwise primo houses, and lowered property values.

    I do agree, What, that the Nets are better kept in Newark, where a stadium and associated perks are already in place. I also agree with you that the whole thing was a land grab bid, and that there will be vast swaths of empty lots there for years to come. I’ve said that since day one.

  3. “Wow, turns out the What just rants and never bothered to ever read this blog. So he’s even more obnoxious than we thought.”

    Let’s make it a “What” thang instead of focusing on the issue at hand! No comment on the AY but, it’s all The What’s fault! Just blame me for AY not getting built, LMMAO. Suckers!!

    Oh BTW It will go downhill from here! Between the lovely NY Times piece on moving back to Manhattan I’ll say the Exodus will begin this summer. Buh bye retards, nice knowing ya!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  4. As a Brooklyn homeowner who bought in the last couple years despite AY not because of it, I hope Newark gets the Nets and it helps Booker continue improving his city. I think it’s great.

  5. ” Brooklyn survived the loss of the Dodgers, and I think the failure of the Nets to arrive here won’t cause us to tank, either. ”

    Oh no, OK. Take a walk this weekend around the area and see all the vacant lots. Then walk Downtown Brooklyn on Bridge and Lawrence St., Then walk up Myrtle Ave and come back to Pacific St. After all that ask your self one question: “Where will the demand come from to support this nonsense”?

    One thing I know- The retards is not “in tune” with the environment of Brooklyn.

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  6. So, What, you’re talking about commercial landowners hoping to benefit from AY. How could you have never noticed everybody here owns residences?

    Wow, turns out the What just rants and never bothered to ever read this blog. So he’s even more obnoxious than we thought.

  7. I didn”t laugh at you on this one What. I laugh at all your other mindless rants but as they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once is a while . . . .broken clock twice a day . . . however you want to put it.

    Point being you’re an ass.

    This “Blind Squirrel” was find nuts all over the place. I rather be a Ass and everyone knows me. I’m a Ass and I will wear that like a Badge of Honor.

    Here is another prediction- In six month the whole financial world is going to implode. That will be the start of the Greater Depression and the Ghetto would like to thank you for improving the ‘hood’. The newly built Condos will become “Low Income” housing. Thanks Reatrds!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…
