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
