For an example of just some of the complexities involved, look at the construction of the original WTC and the landfill that became some of Battery Park City. That involved a rather small area and it was done in the late 1960s and early 1970s at a huge costAFAICS, it didn't take multiple billions of public money. The WTC itself had a total cost of $900 million in 1973 dollars, but to the Port Authority. There were similar projects going on around Manhattan at the time of this proposal anyhow, like the Harlem River Ship Canal, which severed Marble Hill from Manhattan and subsequently led to its being attached to the Bronx. We already have many flight paths around here as anyone with a nice view of the region can tell you, and a deviation from even the presently slightly further out ones taking off from LGA, e.g., the recent flight with a double bird strike that ditched in the Hudson shows, it's a very, very short trip by air from any of the three major airports to Manhattan That doesn't mean that you should make the trip even shorter. |
