Not that this will change the mind of Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, who looked into the dubious financing scheme for Yankee Stadium after the fact but hasn't seen fit to look into the Atlantic Yards arena before it goes forward, but DDDB's Daniel Goldstein sums up the case for doing so.
This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, concerns the $6B project to build the Barclays Center arena & 15-16 towers at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park Brooklyn in 2014 after the Chinese government-owned Greenland USA bought a 70% stake going forward. In 2018, once the arena & four towers were built, Greenland bought out most of Forest City's stake, then sold three leases to other companies.
