While neighborhood advocate Daniel Goldstein was thought to be the last residential holdout in the Atlantic Yards development’s path, a family was discovered living at 481 Dean Street — and they’re not leaving without a fight, according to the New York Post.

But the initial relocation offer might be just a first offer: the Empire State Development Corp was reportedly unaware of the family’s existence until about a week ago. [Post]
