Textbook Ratner

Sometimes Ratner can be quite poetic. Think of all the symbolism behind this: Ratner - the "mastermind" behind the ugliest building in Brooklyn :is set to demolish one of the nicest buildings in the Footprint, Ward's Bakery:


There is no better illustration of this developer's crassness, incompetence and indifference to aesthetics and the community. Well, don't just bitch: you can do something about it, sign the online petition and pass it along.

Funny, the National Trust considered it worthy of preservation and Ratner calls it blighted . I suppose his definition of blighted is anything that gets in the way of his stubby little fingers on more greenbacks. Were it politically expedient, I am sure he would pull down the Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity. He hasn't gotten that arrogant...yet.
