& Thomas Hauser in The Sweet Science says @barclayscenter has a pot problem: "At times--and Saturday night was one of them--the smell of weed is so strong that non-smokers are in danger of getting a contact high"— Norman Oder (@AYReport) January 22, 2018

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.
