The Press Catches On...Ground Has Not Broken
The press has finally caught on to the fact that Forest City Ratner has
not broken ground on its arena.
The Associated
Press, WNYC-radio, the NY
Times, the Daily
News, the Bergen
Record, the Newark
Star-Ledger and others "reported" that no ground has been broken
for the arena. As we've been saying for the past year, the only activity that
has been going on at the project's footprint has been some demolition activity,
because until the eminent domain
lawsuits are resolved, the arena and superblocks cannot be constructed. The
fact that ground has not been broken was reported because according to Forest
City Rartner's latest projections, the earliest they think they can open the arena
would be for the 2010-2011 basketball season. First they said 2006-07, then 2009-10,
now 2010-2011. There is ample
evidence that in reality 2011-2012 would be the earliest.
Of course, we don't think the arena will ever open, because Forest City Ratner's
project was never really about basketball, was it?
