"Just another sign that the line below 63rd St. will never be built."Never is a long time, so it is pretty safe to say that you are wrong. Also, existing trends will basically force the SAS to be built in its entirety. It works like this. Rumors have it that the LIRR will be running service into Grand Central in several years. When this happens, the Lex will get even more crowded. Also, real estate development continues on the East Side. What happens if the SAS doesn't get built? real estate values will begin to flatline and then drop. Why are real estate values important? Because the real estate industry has been the most powerful force in this city for a very long time. They are what got the original subway built. They are what will make sure that the SAS gets built. |
