I think Sheldon Silver (and the NYS Assembly) had a little something to do with the stadium not getting built.

If they manage to reduce the scale of the project then they've won. The railyards were always going to get developed and the NIMBYs know that. It was just a matter of size, layout and content.
These people are stupid because this is the last parcel of developable land left in Manhattan and if they reduce the amount of buildable space here, in the future, growth will have to come at the expense of razing older structures in other parts of Manhattan. Dumb NIMBYs.
One of these days I'm going to have to write a letter to our dumb elected officials to explain a concept as simple as this so that they can understand.
