To say anything outside of Manhattan has a chance to economically compete against the financial muscle of Manhattan, either shows you are a very poor accountant, or just full of hot air :)<BR/><BR/>The relationship between Manhattan and the other parts of the city is a symbiotic relationship, both have their own niche in life, both cant compete directly against each other, whether it is housing or jobs.<BR/><BR/>BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30629984.post-70312552599613060362007-12-03T20:45:00.000-05:002007-12-03T20:45:00.000-05:00Omar - I have been living in Brooklyn all my life ...Omar - I have been living in Brooklyn all my life as my parents and grandparents did as well. My opinion - Atlantic Yards is the most important development to ever be conceived for Brooklyn. Coney Island ranks second. Together the 2 developments will lead Brooklyn into major competition with Manhattan. I think its beautiful what Ratner and Thor are trying to accomplish in this borough. And you know what, I really believe they will both accomplish it.<BR/><BR/>There will always be naysayers. Such is the environment in NY. But I think both developers have outsmarted the naysayers and will get it accomplished. Ratner should have the Nets here by 2010. And I think Thor played Coney perfectly by delaying everything with the condo plan when the main objective from the start was to take it to the next administration to get hotels with the amusements in the zone. Just a Brooklyn guy's opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
