Chelsea and the Meatpacking District were dumps when trains ran there and that didn't change until it became certain that nothing was ever gonna run there again. The area around the Houston/2nd Ave station was a dump for decades even though there was a subway station right there, 15 minutes form midtown. The influx of foreign money into NYC has pushed up the prices of all housing, with a serious trickle down effect. The result is that anywhere that isn't too long a trip to midtown is in high demand. The high line area would be in even higher demand if somehow the trip to midtown could be reduced by 10 minutes. That doesn't necessarily mean that the best use of NYC transportation dollars would be extending the 7 or the L farther. |
