So Where Do You Stand?

My subscription to New York Magazine continues to be a worthwhile investment as it consistently provides interesting and thought-provoking articles.

The most recent issue features a great piece by Chris Smith about Bruce Ratner's plans for the Atlantic Yards.

I was never sure where I stood on the issue, having just recently moved to the area and have been a bit fatigued by the story being covered every week in local papers like The Park Slope Paper and The Park Slope Courier.

However, Chris Smith did a nice job of summarizing the issues, showing both sides, and ultimately persuading me that when it comes to Atlantic Yards, the cons DO OUTWEIGH the pros.

Read the article and decide for yourself!
