Yes, but we've been waiting until a disaster wipes out the area and then buying the property. Also, seems like you've been misreading your map. None of Ditmars is in any flood plain, only a small portion of 21st is a border, and no section of the GCP west of the BQE eastern spur (looks like we can build a subway after all). The GCP from 82nd St to the Whitestone Expressway is actually the border between Zone 1 and Zone 4 flood zones, so the threat of flooding for any service running along the highway is far exaggerated, especially given that the line would most likely be elevated over the highway. Funny how we clearly haven't learned diddly as a society from Sandy given that we're redeveloping the iron triangle |
