That there’s absolutely no way they’re going to start demolishing residential, suburban areas out of nowhere to prop up 5+ story apartment buildings across East Queens and Staten Island. Duh.

It worked great in suburban NJ when they passed a similar law. Now most train stations there are surrounded by big new apartment buildings.

I see what you mean. Truth be told, train stations do not stretch out far into East Queens . Farthest is the J to Jamaica/Archer or the A to Lefferts or Aqueduct. And the Aqueduct station is off a service road. And where I live, I have to take a bus to reach a train. They need to work on stretching transit lines in Eastern Queens first before building apartments anywhere near here.
