From Riverhead to Greenport may not have much traffic now, but I remember pictures of the building of the subways through farm fields and nowhere-land, and guess what. They built it and they came.Long Island can only expand so far, it is an island, after all, but it sure can fill up some of those empty lands out there. Put in a better train service, and the developers will be sure to build houses there. If they think that the Poconos are withing commuting distance to New York City, then Greenport should surely be so too. It's not mainstream commuting distance with current technology. In a laissez-faire world, western Nassau will be full of condos before the North Fork becomes properly urbanized. |
