Hey just wanted to post this so you can all ignore it since it’s not about some random guy on the Pirates you want the Mets to get. Then years from now when this comes up and only @mediagoon and I were paying attention back in 2018 I will send you this link.
Anyway, interesting take suggesting DiBlasio is into the current vision, some thoughts about whether or not affordable housing will ever happen (ooo ooo pick on me Mr. Kotter ooo ooo) and maybe the city should let someone else develop the thing.
Seven months have gone by since the state’s highest court shot down the proposed Willets West mega-mall.The Queens Development Group, a joint venture of the Related Companies and the Mets’ owners-controlled firm Sterling Equities, was contracted by the city to realize the Willets Point redevelopment. And because the firm had argued that it needed to build the mall to make the revitalization plan financially feasible, the judicial decision threw the Iron Triangle’s future in the air.
