Nyets!

Dude, the Atlantic Yards basketball project is back!

Some Russian bizillionaire is going to buy the Nets and help them to come to Brooklyn.  The stadium is going to be right near my apartment.  The deal to bring the Nets to Brooklyn has been on the table for a while, but Nets new owner Bruce Ratner ran out of money.  The horrible neighbors have some group opposing the project because they don’t want traffic in the hood.  But don’t they know, no one goes to Nets games.  In fairness, some neighbors are going to have to move because the stadium will actually be built on top of their buildings.  Their gripe is a little more credible.  But with apologies to my soon-to-be former neighbors, I wanna watch pro basketball!
