True, but not as much as it should. What should be buit is not built, because the priority as I stated is to help the developers, not the commuters.Look at what happened to Water Street. When I was a kid it was lined by four story buildings, not any skyscrapers. Then the Second Avenue Subway was announced. Within ten years property values boomed and it became lined with skyscrapers. The developers made out like bandits and the Lex became even more overcrowded. On which other line does the PM rush begin at 3PM? Only on the Lex. Now it looks like the lower Second Avenue subway will not be built for another fifty years and no one cares because the developers already made their money and you have people like Doctoroff saying it isn't even necessary because it won't spur additional development which is the only reason why subway lines are proposed now, not to help commuters. That is just a side effect. Why add an expensive new connection to LaGuardia airport that won't save anyone any time, if not just to help developers? |
