I don't live in the affected areas of New York where the IBX is proposed to operate, however I can understand their point with over development.I live is a part of Brooklyn that have witnessed tremendous development since the year 2000. I have seen two family frame houses replaced by three story condominiums with twelve to sixteen living units. Eben brick house construction have fallen to the demolition crews with a six story twelve living units, and only six parking spaces. Development in New York tends to be typically for the politically connected, so rezoning can take place if the community doesn't stay alert to quiet proposals to change development rules in a community. There are many arguments for and against building the IBX rail connection, and a point of view. Truthfully, only individuals on this social medium that live in New York City can truthfully comment. Out of towers not affected, regardless of the passion for rapid transit, really don't have any weight in the IBX argument. In the end, its all about money. Money for developers regardless of their outward political affiliation. Conservative of progressive, its capitalism, make a buck, is still at the core of over development, and MTA contracts that never end on time. The IBX doesn't have my vote if there were a plebiscite. |
