New York sums it up:
The
Nets Are Actually in Great Shape, If You’re Okay With Seizing Private
Property on Behalf of a Billionaire
New York Magazine. Daily Intelligencer
...let's never forget this: Private property in a thriving neighborhood
is being seized and destroyed in a 21st-century democracy so Bruce Ratner
and the richest man in Russia can build a basketball stadium and luxury apartments.
That the Nets' roster is in fine shape is great news, we guess, if you missed
rooting for East Germany.
And don't forget, the arena is money loser and it is all subsidized by New York taxpayers.
