I am not sure what makes you think "subway creep" The point of mass transit is easy access to all parts of the city (which in many cases includes immediately adjacent "towns" which while "independent" would have no economic reason for existence if not for the large city just over the border--think Evanston, Skokie, Bethesda, Rosslyn. We are fortunate that NYC was formed uniting the five boros unlike for instance here in the SF Bay area where we have midget towns completely surrounded by other cities. Imagine if the UES were a separate city w/a mayor/city council etc and the Chelsea neighborhood the same.Transit provides mobility which facilitates the economy. Extending it to more areas improves conditions for everyone. |
