He hasn't been in Castleton or West Brighton evidentally. Welcome to the projects ;)Castleton and West Brighton are a shorter walk from the ferry terminal than from the North Shore branch, since the railroad hugs the shoreline at that point. Sure, there are some apartment buildings and projects at the eastern end of the North Shore, in R4 and R5 zones. West of Snug Harbor, though, is mostly zoned R3A or R3-2, both of which have a maximum floor/area ratio of 0.5 and maximum building height of 35'. The NYC Zoning Resolution classifies anything under R6 as "lower density." Note also that a large portion of the North Shore's service area to the north is water, which may have a significant impact on ridership patterns. Just because an area is dangerous doesn't make it dense. |
