Well, then you also have to look at whether some of those areas should even continue to exist given how low they are to the water, and how much climate change is going to raise sea levels and strengthen storms. I'm not sure which parts of the Rockaways are low, but there are some areas, especially on the southern shore of LI, that should probably be completely bulldozed and turned into a natural barrier. But the water is pretty, so people will keep going back to places that should never have been built on in the first place, and shouldn't be repaired when they are storm damaged/destroyed.But your points about gentrification are true nonetheless. |
