How serious is the “stall” of Atlantic Yards? Does it mean that most of the project is dead? That Frank Gehry’s creation has been mangled? That what it will amount to is a nearly $1 billion basketball arena? Or is the developer looking for more public subsidies? It’s hard to say right now whether the stall is a stall in the sense of the car needing to be towed to the shop for some work or needed to be taken to the scrapyard and put in a crusher. Regardless, there has been much coverage since yesterday morning:

With this delay, we can look forward to that huge drainage swale, that is the railyards, providing solid rain water drainage for at lease another season of summer downpours.
