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

Should we raze them and replace with townhouses? Or better yet, convert them into desperately needed parkland?
I agree, hideous post-modern residential high rises are not the face of Brooklyn. Rental housing should be eliminated from Atlantic Yards, and replaced with additional office space. Yes, it'll still be ugly - but Brooklyn desperately needs its own economy. If most affluent Brooklynites are nothing more than Manhattan commuters, they'll never develop a sense of place.
