I have the highest regard for Stephen Ross whose innovative and broad vision for the real estate industry in this city is unmatched. They exemplify the quality and wisdom of the man. With his quiet strength he is reaching out to other for-profit developers in relation to the Queens West site. It will serve this city well if his naysayers such as the affordable housing developers and the "irritated community members" listen carefully, assess then heed his practical proposal. When did we hear a developer of Mr. Ross' calibre address so passionately the housing issues of New York City when there was no monetary incentive? "You have to have it so that it is totally diverse, so that all income levels can be accommodated." Wisely said, Mr. Ross.

P.S: Your next article about Stephen Ross should be titled "Stephen Ross, King of New York Real Estate."
I am glad that the ubiquitous loudmouth, Donald Trump, did not win the Time Warner site. He is not innovative - never created anything.
