Yes I agree, the city is coming back up and as a result the neighborhoods are changing, and Rockaway has certainly seen a bit of that (it's like the hipster resort). But that's like saying you could replace the G with the LIRR and everything would be fine. Even most new residents wouldn't want to pay LIRR fares. That's why I moved the hell away from Port Washington. PW is $8.50 OFF PEAK, ONE WAY right now. That means $17.00 to go to the city if I'm not touching a peak train. It was more expensive for me to stay on Long Island than move to my hipster dufas neighborhood. |
