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

Not this project. This one says you can't make less than $21,000 per year. Unforunately, that means that a 25% of the people who live near the site won't be able to afford to live in its most subsidized units.
Atlantic Yards is "affordable" mostly to the new, more affluent residents that its developer expects to move to Prospect Heights. To those families that already live there, well, you probably already know what the developer thinks of you.
