The builder probably got the land cheap because of it's proximity to the railyard. But beyond that you have to wonder why the land was zoned (or re-zoned) residential. A commercial zoning for big-box stores or large supermarkets would have made more sense.I normally would sympathize with the residents and I feel bad for the "yuppies" but the railyard was plainly there for all to see. The MTA really can't do much to reasonably accommodate the residents until that very distant day when LIC is either electrified or closed. |
