Hamill writes: "I’m no pollster, but the only people I hear from
in multiple numbers opposing the new Brooklyn Nets sports arena complex
are the people of Prospect Heights."

"I’ve received dozens of E-mails opposing this $2.5 billion construction
project that would bring Brooklyn a 19,000-seat arena, 2 million square
feet of commercial space, 300,000 square feet of retail space, and
4,500 new housing units, creating 15,000 temporary construction jobs
and 10,000 new permanent jobs."

"But 98% of the E-mails are from people from Prospect Heights, where
some 800 people say they will lose their homes to eminent domain." Read the whole editorial.
