What's the problem with the MTA receiving $200,000 in free money? Nobody even knew what Pacific St. was anyway -- it's a minor one-way street that doesn't even go through at Flatbush. (The station should have been called Atlantic/Flatbush or Atlantic/4th but the MTA doesn't really name stations that way.)
Barclays Center is built above a rail yard, which wasn't really doing much for the neighborhood either. All the hate for Barclays Center is completely misguided and the complaints are just the NIMBY types looking for something to whine about.
So I don't understand how anyone could possibly call redeveloping a rail yard into a stadium "shady". Maybe you don't want the foot traffic in your neighborhood, but it's hard to blame Barclays for that.
