Some get built eventually but it can take several years between planning board approvals and construction financing and permits. Especially if they redesign it again. Those eventually happen, but COVID messed things up.
For others, yes they are scheming to get wealthy without having any actual plans to build. Buy a forgotten site for like $250K, put together plans and get planning/zoning approval for a big tower, and then sell it for $5 Million saying “Fully Approved for a 25 story tower”

Reply to Why is there not a footbridge here? by SirTitsMcGee
Lack of money or effort. There are lots of cool drawbridge footbridges that deploy quickly. There is also a ferry that runs once an hour as part of a Manhattan service.. That ferry is $2

Reply to Why are these flags flying upside down? In Anacostia at the Educare while riding the Anacostia trail this morning. by tehruben
The upside down flags signify “America is in Distress”. A few Democrats did it during the Trump presidency so now the Trumpers are doing it. Doesn’t appear to be anything online that they would be protesting

Is that an actual dispensary or a CBD place yet again?

NIMBYs are coming out of the woodwork to oppose them, in every town in the state. Many of them don’t like within 50 miles of the place yet claim it would hurt their home values.

Reply to comment by Cunninghams_right in Would be awesome if the JFX and Jones Falls river could be converted like this by Cunninghams_right
The after photo is taken from that bridge (or it’s replacement to maintain the cross street) seen in the middle of the before photo. You can see the same buildings in the background. This makes the rounds on historical building subs making people think that they got rid of the modernist buildings on the left. So it would send the wrong message

It would be nice if the before and after photos were taken from the same bridge

I’m surprised Musk didn’t have the account banned.

It’ll be close. Should be okay if the plane is on time. Get your bag downstairs and the local bus picks up at the doors of the terminal. The 62 bus seems to take 17 minutes now at 7 PM on Sunday to go from the airport terminal to Newark Penn. Most of the Greyhound and other long distance buses are at Newark Penn by the taxi plaza. It doesn’t give much wiggle room for waiting for the transit bus, late flights, or traffic so plan a backup. A waiting taxi would be faster than Uber

It’s been closed all through COVID and very recently reopened. Mostly food takeout and the occasional actual retail. Runs on the second floor through the complex and connects directly to Newark Penn through skybridges

It will be in the Gateway Center so anywhere from 5:30 to 11 PM. Likely to be decided based on the success of the renovated Gateway Center mall

Many streets should be closed to cars, especially around the busiest areas for pedestrians and any sensitive sites. But a blanket ban on the city won’t work. Instead something like the London Congestion Charge would help reduce car traffic elsewhere

Are they still going ahead with the rooftop bar and glass elevator on that building?
