Thanks for the history lesson, but I fail to see your point regarding the importance of the terminal morain in affecting development. I also do not see your point with Queens and Brooklyn now virtually all developed how the terminal morain still divides Queens, but not Brooklyn.All you have proved with this map is that Northern Brooklyn developed ahead of Southern Brooklyn. The reason for that is that Northern Brooklyn is closer to Manhattan than southern Brooklyn. It has nothing to do with the terminal morain. As far as Queens being not as densely developed as Brooklyn,that has to do with the fact that except for its western portion,(eg. Astoria and Long Island City, much of Queens is also farther from Manhattan than northern Brooklyn. Add to that the sparcity of rapid transit lines in Queens which contributes to the lower density. The areas south of the terminal morain (such as Hollis, Rosedale , Laurelton ,etc)is no less populated than areas north of the terminal morain (such as Bayside, Douglaston, etc) given the lack of rapid transit in both areas. The terminal morain does not divide Queens any more than it divides Brooklyn. |
