That seems very unlikely because LI is in an even worse position for urbanizing than NJ. There's relatively little land available for greenfield development on LI (or in the NY Metro area period). With no land available there's also less chance for upzoning on LI, even in the lower income urban areas which now form the basis of NJ's new-urbanist movement. The same is true of Westchester County. IMHO NY needs NJ more than NJ needs NY because without the prospect for lower cost housing available outside NY state NYC is not going to be competitive in a very competitive global marketplace. |
