		Before he headed the MTA, Ravitch was a successful real estate developer, and although he is long out of that business, lately he has been telling his old pals something they don't usually hear: that a lot of them agree with his stadium criticism but don't have the nerve to say so.
		Ravitch demonstrated his own development chops years ago when he built the Waterside towers on the East River, Manhattan Plaza on West 42nd Street, and a concrete colossus at West 33rd Street and Tenth Avenue that straddles the commuter rail tracks beneath it and which now houses the Daily News and other media tenants.
		Ravitch said his own decision to speak out emerged when he realized the MTA was facing a crisis almost as severe as the one he confronted when he took over the agency in 1979.

	Downtown threatened by stadium plan, opponents say
		The end of the state legislative session on June 23 meant the matter was dead, at least until the Legislature reconvenes this month to act on unfinished business, including the budget — late for the 20th consecutive year – as well as the Javits expansion.
		Members of the committee, including Assemblymembers Richard Gottfried and Deborah Glick, said the bill, presented by the city and state to finance the Javits Center expansion, contained loopholes that would also authorize the operation of the stadium, designed to serve as the home of the Jets football team as well as for Convention Center uses.
		Richard Ravitch, a former chairperson of the M.T.A. speaking individually, declared at the hearing that the stadium could start “a slide down the slippery slope that led to the 1970s crisis” for the authority that runs the transit system.

		In one of their first meetings, Ravitch laid out to Fehr his preferred approach to negotiations: He likes to develop a personal bond with his opposite number to facilitate a deal through backroom bargaining.
