Interesting read about how building rail links and affordable housing (oh wait, don’t actually worry about that happening in your lifetime) in Willets could lead to even more crowded trains, and there’s no solution. Unless you have $10 billion, and even then I don’t think there’s a solution. Enjoy…
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s proposal to rezone Flushing West was put on hold for very good reasons. Everyone is aware that the Flushing No. 7 subway has been running at full capacity during rush hour for years. There is no space to accommodate the thousands of new riders that would have been generated by new housing as a result of Flushing West.
