With the Sandy argument, we should evacuate and abandon the whole Jersey Coast from Seabright to Cape May and the Passaic River towns (Bound Brook now has a flood wall).Clearly that's not at all what I said. I did not say anywhere should be abandoned. But what does need to be considered is the impact of a flood on a given parcel of upzoned land and how that will affect the investment made to take advantage of the zoning for greater density. Queens and Brooklyn may be able to be upzoned from single family and attached homes to something with greater density, but the investment in those properties must be weighed against the potential for loss in flooding. There is little land within those boroughs that isn't part of a potential flood zone. OTOH NJ has areas which are available for upzoning and aren't in danger of being declared total losses after a good rain storm. |
