Re: Logic vs. NIMBY

The more I read into all these threads the more I get how all these civic associations seems to get their way about the ROW. This Row was built at a time when areas around Rego Park, and Woodhaven where not fully developed. The LIRR ran the line until 1962. So Until that point, people living around the ROW delt with the issues of listening to the "ole clicky-clack" sounds of the owl-faced MUs rumbling to and from. My point is, these folks need to look at the bigger picture for thing. Also, this is for public transportation needs. Maybe the government should flex its arm and use the eminate domain law that now seems to be sweeping across the country. There should be something similar to this for public agencies wanting to do something positive for the area at large.
