Demoliton on Ward's Bakery Begins.

As if to send out a message to the community 'Yes I really am just as crass, selfish and greedy as you imagined' Bruce Ratner begins demolition of Ward's Bakery today. And for what? to build a parking lot. Is there any better illustration that this developer completely lacks imagination and cares about nothing but money?

It is literally a crime (as appears to be the case in Yonkers) that this greedy, dishonest, crass incompetent developer has been 'enabled' by politicians like Bloomberg who prop up his failed projects by filling them with city agencies. It doesn't 'create jobs' or 'help the economy' on the contrary, it diverts billions of dollars away from education, infrastructure and real improvement and muscles out competent developers who might actually improve the community.

I honestly believe that with a more diligent press (whom Ratner has cleverly partnered with) we wouldn't be discussing the demolition of Wards Bakery, but rather an investigation of Bruce Ratner and Forest City, the prospect of which I still hold hope for.
