New York Magazine Reads Left Behinds

Here is the cover of the current issue of New York Magazine

and here is what I wrote about the Atlantic Yards boondoggle, as reprinted in NoLandGrab and a few other blogs:

It's like some giant grey Transformer clomped its foot down on Park Slope. And imagine when in a few years all those pristine white beams get coated in soot from the neverending traffic jams that are projected as a direct result of this development (have you ever tried to drive through Flatbush or Atlantic during rush hour or on a weekend?). It'll be a Transformer's giant grey dirty foot.

Sigh. Now I understand why Metallica killed Napster.

Anyhow, check out this artist's depiction of the Giant Gehry Monster:



Nice shadow.
