Check out the web exclusive: Tale of Three Community Boards in this week’s Brooklyn Papers.
Here’s a tasty tidbit:

It was neither the best of times, nor the worst of times, but three
community boards surrounding Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards
mega-development held hastily scheduled, little-publicized and legally
irrelevant public hearings last night (Thursday, Aug. 3) to give
residents a chance to vent. Little was said that wasn’t said before,
but racial and class schisms were reopened. Residents of Boards 2 and
6, which cover tony areas such as Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope and Fort
Greene, were almost entirely against the project. Residents of Board 8,
which covers a much-less-well-off area extending from Prospect Heights
to Brownsville, were far more supportive of the project. Virtually all
people who spoke in favor of the project were black. Virtually all who
spoke against it were white. In the style of The Brooklyn Papers’
triple-threat Brooklyn Cyclones coverage, we now offer a
menage-a-transcript from last night’s event.
