This shit needs to get done, and in a timely fashion. Like years ago, if something had to get done, it got done come hell or high water.I'm not saying that was necessarily a good thing in all cases (a lot of people got dislocated and a lot of historical neighborhoods and landmarks got bulldozed), but it still got done. Today, technology exists to build stuff and minimize the impact to people and surrounding areas. What will happen if simply getting from one place to another in metro New York becomes more difficult than climbing Mount Everest (in some cases, it already seems that way)? What will happen if a devestating incident occurs in one of the many Single Points of Failure (the worst ones IMO being the Hudson River and East River RR tunnels... if something renders one of those tunnels unusable, we're fucked any which way you want it). Because the alternate options (PATH, subway, roads, etc) will not be able to handle all the extra overflow. |
