Brooklyn Arena Plagued By Poor Economy
I have been shitting on the Nets purported move to Brooklyn from day one. It’s a horrible effing idea. First of all, the Devils just moved into a brand new building in Newark. That town could use whatever help it gets from a corporate entity like the NBA coming into a building already occupied by the NHL. Keep in mind that sports teams only use these facilities for a fraction of ther year. It makes way more fiscal sense to operate a facility with two sports franchises helping to pay the light bill. Why do you think the Meadowlands has show record profits from Giants Stadium since the Jets moved in alongside them?
The second question becomes what we do with the void in space that we have by not installing an arena? My answer is on some economic evolutionary shit. Are y’all ready? Heads ain’t ready.
Affordable Living Space
I’m not talking about market rate apartments either. Sheeeeeeeit, I’m not talking about apartments at all. What Brooklyn needs is affordable living space so that people can take their home offices OUT of their homes. This will increase people’s quality of life when they have to get out of their apartments to go someplace where they have a mini-office or at least a cubicle. This will benefit all the graphic designers and journalists and shut-ins that never leave Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg or wherever. Get out of the fucking house and go to an office. There can be communal conference rooms for people to have business meetings and there should also be several water coolers per floor.
BRUCE RATNER can expand on the MetroTech plan by offering this affordable living space to non-profits and small business incubators. I call the offices “living spaces” becasue of the time that we all spend at our respective places of employment and such. Typically we are there from 8-10 hours and we are awake and active. making dinner plans, reading blogs, talking on the phone with creditors. I live in my fucking office. My co-op apartment is just a sneaker warehouse that I sleep in from time to time. The idea of getting people out of their homes to work is so that people don’t have to take their work home with them. Let the place we lay our heads be some kind of sanctuary for our souls.
With all the doom and gloom being forecasted in the U.S. economy I predict that most of us will have to work until we die. Why can’t we work smarter instead of harder. I think a communal office setting will also lead to an increase in productivity. Mainly though, I don’t want the sucky azz Nets occupying prime Brooklyn real estate.

Playing in the East ain’t enough for ’em
Two Carters, I thought they get better
Now they getting rid of Kidd, like a miscarraige”
