Bloomberg is lying?

They are basically going to screw up traffic
any time there is an event there.

Jeez, Alex, can you think about what you're saying. When is the traffic in
New York NOT screwed up?

This can't be correct - otherwise it would mean Mayor Bloomberg is lying
to the public about the reasons to build that new stadium for the Jets
by floating $800 million in bonds.

New Yorkers will show you Boston Big Dig people how to steal some real
money from the public.

Velonews must not have gotten the memo from the Jets' PR front office to
suppress these kind of articles.

Help me out here, JT.

I haven't been following this enough to understand what is up.

Why would the city of New York float bonds to build a stadium in New Jersey?

The Sopranos are Jets fans ?

I feel compelled to weigh in on this, since I actually live in the
metro area and work in Manhattan. First, traffic isn't always screwed
up. You'd be amazed that it flows pretty well for 20 out of 24 hours
of the day. Not bad considering the region has upwards of 12 million
residents. Also, the transportation system is quite good here. It's
good enough so that even beer guzzling football fans can Park-and-ride
from NJ, CT, and LI and enjoy a new stadium. Since the seventies, the
public has been dissuaded from driving in Manhattan unless absolutely
necessary.

While I'm against it, a stadium on the West side might spur the
furthering of the 7 and L subway lines. By the way, there are large
parts of the west side that are not as densely populated as you would
think, yet.

The other alternative would be to re-commit to the Meadowlands site.
The traffic there gets absolutely insane, because people think it's
driveable. An option there would be to extend the new Hudson County
Light rail (see http://www.njtransit.com/images/hb_final_1031.gif ) or
promote more bus use.

IMHO, on ever issue in the news, people from the rest of the country
are so anti-NYC. It's a pretty awesome place if you think about it.
It functions amazingly well. And, it's the heart of a BLUE STATE!

PS: The Big Dig was a necessary evil, unless Boston could convince
people to DRIVE LESS! A city growing that fast cannot handle
one-per-car commuting.
