Yes i have. And I don't just mean ozone. I mean flushing, jackson heights, maspeth, corona, elmhurst, forest hills...
And no one ever suggest destroying these communities when they are so inefficient. And all of these neighborhoods have parts very accessible to manhattan by train. It's also wrong to think that everyone would be taking the subway to commute or would be trying to get to Manhattan.
Upzoning the Greenwich village doesn't allow for affordable housing. It creates more expensive housing. This wouldn't be the case in corona.
Historic preservation shouldn't just apply to monuments or important train terminals–this was clear to Jane Jacobs.

Not true. A,J,Z, and E trains all go to the general area. And ozone is still in the city proper-it’s not like some far out suburb.
Queens has a Manhattan-sized region of inefficient housing. Why not start fixing that first before we start destroying old apartments and townhouses which have a smaller footprint and are historic.

Why can’t we tear down the single family homes in ozone first, then the historic townhomes in Greenwich village?

I’m not talking about building up. They could just destroy buildings to more efficiently house people. And forget about particulars, what about literally any major European city.

Why don’t we start destroying the single family houses in ozone park first before we start destroying historic townhouses in Greenwich village.

We don’t really have “plenty” london, paris, and Amsterdam have plenty. We have a small minority of old buildings

Also: don’t accept this line of thinking. Old buildings should be preserved regardless of historic status. It’s crazy how New Yorkers go and visit Paris and Amsterdam and Venice for vacation and then come back and want to destroy our own old buildings.

I'd call it Rockefeller center but ok fine yeah midtown. but like most of what people call midtown isn't midtown. It's just they don't know the real neighborhood names.

I don’t use Uber either. I’m just saying who calls a cab here when you can just hail a taxi?? I guess it makes sense of you live deep in outer boroughs though
