Have been in NYC for about nine years. Funny enough I think the whole Atlantic Yards / Ratner stuff started around that time, too. My first nyc job was maybe ten blocks from Atlantic Yards and I distinctly remember seeing these like Ratner Gazette weekly papers start popping up w/ headlines like Ratner's Plan for Atlantic Yards Good For Everyone. Heh, I can't even remember if/when the Nets stuff got involved; feel like at the time it was just a naked land-grab and the Nets idea got subbed in later.

Hahaha dug up a NYT story about it. First few Ps:

One possibility is that Walt Whitman would be proud. A newspaper-shaped thing has taken the name The Brooklyn Standard in homage to the paper that published Whitman's Brooklyniana series in the 1860's, and people are eager to see the next issue.

This newspaper-shaped thing is focused on Brooklyn, printing the word Brooklyn 17 times on its front page, a display of loyalty stronger than Whitman himself showed with lines like "Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me."And its content is divisive in a way Whitman might recognize from feuds with bosses at The Brooklyn Eagle over his Free Soil Party views. But while Whitman was taking a stand against the expansion of slavery, the editors of the new Standard have embraced more self-serving causes.

The publication is paid for by Forest City Ratner, the company promoting a proposed $3.5 billion arena project for downtown Brooklyn, and most of the articles, well, promote a proposed $3.5 billion arena project for downtown Brooklyn.

But fukk that noise now all of Brooklyn can experience Joe Johnson.

holy shit i'm so jealous of you going to thailand, kevin. that's awesome.

The trainyard was basically an unused shithole; don't think many people had a big problem w/ something happening to the space. It's just, from its inception, Ratner's proposal was just a real estate thing w/o much afterthought to what would be going on there, not to mention invoking eminent domain on non-AtlYard properties. Among everything, it's kind of sad / maybe indicative of Park Slope that, toward the final stages, the biggest gripe was how much extra traffic / sports fans would be clogging up Atl/Pac/Flatbush.

Was really tough watching them slowly build the BKLN-bound Nets team and see how bad it looked. Aside from totally lucking out w/ Lopez, such a bummer team, and basically no one making that really easy side-step into embracing Brooklyn or w/e. Like, if Harden had ended up in Brooklyn, people would be buzzing about their neighborhood team. No one gives a fuck about these players.

But yeah, those papers were so hilarious to see since they were almost Mr. Burnsesque. From that same article:

Articles by writers of obvious bias are consigned to pages marked Editorial and Op-Ed. In that space, an article in the first issue was signed by Bruce Ratner, namesake of the development company behind the arena project, known as Atlantic Yards. Another article was about him. In it, the Rev. Herbert Daughtry described a talk Mr. Ratner gave to schoolchildren and said Mr. Ratner was "relaxed, smiling and seated on a child's chair, in his customary humble, winsome manner."
