Steve Cuozzo laments Frank Gehry’s departure from the Atlantic Yards project while grossly misrepresenting Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn (‘Net’ Loss Is Devastating,” June 6).

His column tars us as “bullies,” “liars” and “Orwellian-titled.”

Orwellian-titled? Not even close. We’re called Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn because we favor developing the eight-acre rail yard, but not Bruce Ratner’s speculative 22-acre land grab. Bullying?

We’ve never done it. Cuozzo must have missed the May 29 Atlantic Yards Senate hearing, at which Ratner orchestrated a five-hour-long disruption. His minions taunted, shouted down and, yes, bullied elected officials and citizens seeking answers to legitimate questions that Ratner won’t answer. The developer, whom Cuozzo calls “courageous,” refused to testify at the hearing.

We’re liars? Cuozzo can’t produce one lie we’ve told. On the other hand, Gehry was used as a tool to gain approval of Ratner’s plans and then dumped. Isn’t that one of Ratner’s biggest lies?
