A reader sent us a link to his Flickr album documenting the several of the buildings in the Atlantic Yards footprint in various stages of demolition. According to him, “Scaffolding is going up on 636 Pacific (Daniel Goldstein’s old building), and Freddy’s is getting ready to be knocked down. 479 Dean is gone, and 481 Dean has had a floor taken off.” You can see all of his pictures here.
Because you spent years criticizing a developer and portraying yourself as a purist whose values could not be compromised, only to accept money from the very person you were fighting. IMO, that is the definition of a sellout. And now that you have been paid, we have heard little, if anything from you, whereas before the payout, you were in the news, issuing press releases, attending rallies, etc.. Once your personal situation was resolved, your alleged outrage at “eminent domain abuse” seemed to fade, at least based on your public appearances. You insisted that you had not been silenced, yet you seem to have grown silent on the issues about which you purported to care so deeply. In sum: pre-payout = vocal and active, post-payout = significantly reduced activity. My two cents.
Right, “big jugs” if that really is your cool name, I sold out. Care to explain to me what exactly I sold out?
Daniel “Sellout” Goldstein is sitting pretty on a mountain of cash (yes, even after taxes and legal fees). We’ve heard nary a word from him since, thankfully. Big payouts have a way of calming people’s (alleged) rage.
Our tax dollars at work for the developers gain…
build baby build
636 was a dump, brand new conversion lacking heat and hot water. Glad the owners made out like bandits.
Who cares? Daniel Goldstein is a MULTI millionaire! Thank you brooklynites for all your hard work!
