Reply to comment by mowotlarx in New York will demolish and elevate a waterfront park to fight floods, angering some neighbors by Mosanso
It's still being resolved with a concrete wall and mounds that block the view of the river... And most of the park space will still be exposed to storm surges.
They didn't need to kill all of those plants and animals. This entire project is just a way to launder tax dollars to elites through construction companies.

The USSR, which Putin, in his first speech as an elected official a few decades ago, promised to rebuild.

Based on that response I don’t think you’re actually interested in learning anything, but no, they are not just putting a wall in. They’re raising the entire level.
If it comes out anything like the renderings it’s quite beautiful, if very different.

I wouldn't say it gets a little difficult. It gets a lot more difficult with multiple transfers. If you need to hit multiple destinations in a day that isn't along the way to each other, it becomes impossible.

It could not have just been resolved with a concrete wall along the water. Unless you and the other Manhattan NIMBYs would be happy with a 10 foot concrete barrier blocking the water view you feel so entitled to. I suspect you wouldn't be happy with that.
The funniest thing to me about the NIMBY response to the East Side Coastal Resiliency is this idea that we need to give a shit about trees that will be replanted. The trees will be DESTROYED by storm surge without the flood wall. These aren't "historical" trees in these parks. Wagner is only 30 years old. Almost all of the waterfront in lower Manhattan is man made, not natural habitat. We are 30 years past the stage of environmentalism where trees can save us. Climate change is already here.

It would be nice if my commute from the Bronx to Queens didn't take 1.5 hours each way. People living in well served areas don't understand that other areas have shitty commutes.

Yes because what most people want is a 10’ wall hemming them off from the water view.

They clear cut like 1000 trees from the East River Park, killing and displacing a solid percentage of Manhattan's wildlife, for what will surely be a 10 year "construction" project that could have just been a resolved with a concrete wall along the water.

looking uptown you will see a cut off, an area where the sky rises stop. This is because the bedrock ends. No skyscrapers in Harlem, for example.

Totally agree with this. Sea level rise is gonna happen much faster/sooner than we anticipated. The bigger issue is how the rest of the city gets protected. $200Million is tiny compared to what the city will eventually need to invest…
