I am a resident of the neighborhood, since 1984. I've witnessed the bad times, and I'm witnessing the better times now. I've followed this Ratner controversy for some time and here are my thoughts. Ratner is no do-gooder, he is a businessman. His group is responsible for Metrotech; whether you like that complex or not, it turned around an underused, almost blighted area, and the displaced residents were offered equal and most times better relocations. Witness the A.I.R housing in the old PS 9 on Sterling Place renovated to Landmark Commission specs, that Ratner was responsible for as part of his Metrotech deal with the City. It was an abandoned eyesore for many many years before that.
I looked over your web site trying to find the core of a compelling argument to try to empathize with your position. I found nothing except some tiny suggestions for even tinier problems. The parking/staging area is necessary PRECISELY for the reasons you object to it. It will shield the neighborhood from noise and dirt from construction vehicles that otherwise would be double-parked in the street and coming and going all day and all night without it!!!.
This Ratner proposal has been around for a very long time, with lots of hearings and lots of public debate. The fact that you have such detailed plans in your slide show attests to the public transparency of this project. (I assume the many typos are your own, however.) If this plan were as bad and as unthinkable as you make out, the entire City would be up in arms. Instead, you have a large majority of people WHO LIVE THERE supporting the project and the jobs, affordable housing, and the hope for a better life this project will bring to the area. Those in opposition are an increasing minority, and their lack of clear and comprehensive alternatives to the proposal labels them as obstructionists and not bona fide dissenters.
Voices for improvement should be welcome at any time. I encourage those with good ideas to keep fighting for them. As for the obstructionists, your time is up. Atlantic Yards will happen with or without you. Why not put your energy to making it REALLY better, and not just stand in its way?
