WFP divided
WFP is divided on the issue. On the one hand, Letisha James, their main person in the city, opposes it. As do many of their members. But they have (and should have) strong union ties, and many unions have bought into Ratner's propoganda. For the unions even the backing out on affordable housing isn't even a deal breaker. They think it is the best way to get some good jobs. I disagree, but I can't blame them for putting that first. I personally think actually building schools, maintaining our infrastructure, building community based development, etc. is a better way to create jobs, but they have a different view. WFP has tried walking the Atlantic Yards tightrope, trying not to piss off either side. I wish they'd take a good stand, but it is a tough issue for them.
