'I think it's the subway's fault,'Only as an indirect and uninitentional way, surely. One the double fare was gone, you could travel right into the city from Far Roackaway for the base fare. That made the area feasible as a place of residence for poorer people, and because it is so remote, land prices weren't high either. I don't suppose the NYCTA actually intended that to happen when they took the line over from the LIRR. The area where one would expect improvement is the part just east of Hammels Wye, where, rather than down-market homes as you see in Far Rockaway, there is essentially nothing there at all a lot of the way. What a waste of a waterfront! |
