Atlantic Yards a sinking ship?

Ratner is heavily dependent on a pending federal decision that could determine whether tax-exempt bonds can be used to finance the $950-million arena. But even if the bonds become available, the seized-up credit market could make it impossible to attract investors to the arena, financial experts say.


Economy, Uncertain Financing Plague Brooklyn Arena

What also doesn't bode well for Ratner is that his architect quit.
