I've read about some of the people who oppose it, and why. I have not read enough about the proposed plan, and the criticisms to really weigh in on the debate.
From what I can gather, the opponents of the plan are worried that the new development will tear at the fabric of a neighborhood that has built itself up. This is a valid criticism. What I would like to see is, what buildings will be condemned, and what will be built in its place. Then I would be able to form a solid opinion.
FeeFee, have you been back to the MetroTech lately? I like the development, but I'm also not familiar with what was there before.

I was watching "Good Day New York" this morning (around 6) and they showed some folks who are actually against the building of the stadium. What is your take/opinion on the whole thing? I'm just curious as to what NYers are thinking.
BTW - I grew up a few blocks away from MetroTech. I still remember when it was first being built and the stores on Myrtle Ave had to close or relocate.
