Your plan would get the MTA into legal trouble.

That is why the R was cut back from 179th in the late 1980's after Archer opened, and the F made a Hillside local. Hillside local stations were relegated to a Queens Blvd local service, which was not the case before Archer. Apartment building owners threatened to sue since they thought their values would drop. All along the Queens Blvd line, property values are higher near express stations than near local stations.

Running 3 locals won't make up for that, one of which does not even go to Manhattan. Even if they rode the G, dwell times would increase due to running 500' long trains and people running toward it to board. That would back up the R and M.
