Daniel Goldstein was, until this morning, the spokesman for Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, formed in opposition to the Atlantic Yards development project, sponsored by Forest City Ratner. Maybe I'm partial to this issue because I live down the street, or maybe because I've read Kelo v. City of New London a few too many times and it still doesn't sit right. Whatever the cause, the breadth of the powers of eminent domain never ceases to amaze me. Describing this as a David versus Goliath fight seems very fitting. Even if you don't necessarily believe that Daniel Goldstein was ever the little guy, the principles he stood for certainly were.
