Reading some comments on Brownstoner, Lumi Rolley, of No Land Grab, noticed that some folks at Brownstoner who read Jennifer Egan’s historic Op-Ed
didn’t believe her assertion that, if built, Atlantic Yards would be
the densest residential community in the nation. But then it
dawned on Rolley, The New York Times has never published that fact in it’s
reporting on the project. Here’s what she had to say on her blog:

Commentary, from "Anonymice" on Brownstoner, regarding Jennifer Egan’s Op-Ed in the Saturday Times, made us realize that Egan’s piece was the very first mention in The NY Times that Atlantic Yards, if built, would be the densest residential community in the nation.
Two commenters posting on Brownstoner found that hard to believe; one even accused Egan of "creating ‘facts’ out of whole cloth."
This incredulity made us realize that unless these readers were receiving the DDDB newsletter, or were regular readers of NoLandGrab or Atlantic Yards Report, they had no clue. How could they? The New York Times never told them.
