Brooklyn Arena Last Stand
This Dec. 30, 2009 photo shows Daniel Goldstein, who led a six year-long fight against developer Bruce Ratner and his Atlantic Yards project, sitting in his apartment at 636 Pacific Street in the Brooklyn borough of New York, against the backdrop of an award he received in 2005 from the New York Senate. Despite earning thousands of supporters for his effort and causing headaches for Ratner, Goldstein is on the verge of a suffering a crushing defeat. The state has begun taking the legal steps necessary to seize his condo and force his eviction, along with other buildings in the neighborhood that sit in the footprint of the arena.
