Beyond Height & Density, Key Questions About "Pacific Park" Open Space

The Pacific Park Conservancy is an unaccountable phantom.
Is the new JV taking over Atlantic Yards even involved?
Also, shouldn't the arena operator have to pay for a permanent plaza?

Fantastic article by @normanoder.bsky.social on what the "40% affordable unit" commitment in the EDC's BMT Vision Plan may really mean in terms of the size of these units vs. the market-rate units. Just another illustration of the shaky numbers underpinning EDC's "vision" plan.
Are Larger Market-Rate Apartments in Brooklyn Marine Terminal Plan Key to the 40% Affordability Promise?
Below-market apartments are smaller. So, they might occupy less than 40% of the square footage--at least if the city's placeholder assumption is borne out. Same for the revised Atlantic Yards?
