New Yorkers Still Fuming Over Goldstein’s Surrender

Local news and blog sites reporting on Daniel Goldstein’s decision to accept $3 million for his home on the Atlantic Yards site have found that New Yorkers are fuming.

One reader on the Daily News voiced her abhorrence for Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s decision to allow Bruce Ratner to build the new Nets stadium. “Now MADOFF Gloomberg can say he has created jobs by hiring hot dog and beer vendors to sell hot dogs and beer at the New Nets Arena,” said the reader.

Another reader does not think the building up of New York City universities is making it better. “I am sickened by all the eminent domain abuse under the tsunami of community crushing development under Bloomberg; the mass displacement. Please don’t forget Manhattanville, Columbia U.’s abuse of eminent domain as just one example. NYU and Cooper Union, NY Law, SVA, The New School all confused the E. Village with dorm fodder and sent a message — history destroyed and community not welcome.”
