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.
