Atlantic Yards would:
Contain the same amount of development as 23 Williamsburgh Savings Banks
Generate over 20,000 new vehicle trips every day with no plan to avoid gridlock
Contain affordable housing that won't be affordable to average Brooklynites
Potentially be built without significant input from New Yorkers

Who needs a stadium in the middle of one of the busiest parts of Brooklyn? Build Housing, Build schools. Build Community Centers. The traffic will be horrible.
Great, even more pollution.
Public transportation even worse. Soon The N & D trains will look like the L.
I'm a third generation Brooklynite & I'm SICK & TIRED of seeing my Brooklyn being turned in to condos. I'm SICK & TIRED of how expensive Brooklyn is getting. & most of all I'm SICK & TIRED of seeing whole neighborhoods being gentrified.
Why is it so expensive? Well, since areas like Fort Greene, Williamsburg, Park slope & Dumbo are close to the city, which yuppies preferably like, considering it's cheaper than Manhattan. Cheaper to them is expensive to us. & then the demand for condos come in. & there goes the neighborhood. Yes, Atlantic Yards will bring jobs...but who can afford to live in NYC? & It may be good for Brooklyn & the people who can afford it. It is NOT good for the people who live here & have to move to a different state!
After, Atlantic Yards? Whats next? Oh yea, Coney Island.
