[B]ut that doesn't change the fact that a tunnel under upper NY Harbor for SI is perhaps the worst idea since a screen door on a submarine.I'm wholly persuaded by this point, although maybe not quite to THAT level of rhetoric.... But to flesh out why it's a valid point, one needs to consider what the population of SI is, and why SI should have a direct, non-stop ride to Lower Manhattan. In essence, that should be the political deal-killer, because why should anyone who's not a property-owner on SI want to devote appropriations for such a project? The only way, politically speaking, for SI to get their Downtown Direct tunnel, as it were, is if SI pays for it; I don't see that happening. So this idea of a direct tunnel between NY and SI for that reason, among others, is simply politically dead in the water. |
