This is true, and though they're expanding the station is ridiculously small considering how many people use it. Never knew it NIMBYs promoting this bs, always thought it was the city and MTA just not giving a shit like usual

They are tearing down their own building & rebuilding taller but ppl will still complain

This address is already a hi-rise, so I guess it’s just going to be torn down and built another 15 stories? I don’t care. Just don’t tear down any stabilized housing. -someone who actually lives in this area.

You know, if someone wanted to install a fountain that shits free gold coins for everyone people would still organize against it.

This city, I swear.

its going to be complaints about blocking view and sun & building too tall for character of the area- just look at the long battle with residents regarding the blood bank research center 2 or so street from this proposed building

average public meeting comment: "I worked hard all my life to be able to afford to live in my Upper East Side co-op that I inherited from my grandfather. And now, you're going to let hundreds of lazy leeches move into our neighborhood, just because they checks notes have cancer?"

> Trump became the first man from Queens to be impeached in 2019. Two years later, he became the first man from Queens to be impeached twice.

Oh God that is funny.

It's cheaper than the stupid fucking stadium we're dumping at least $560milliom into upstate. If we're making service cuts there are many I'd focus on before cutting a cancer hospital.

NIMBYs really are just vile people.

I take transit to the airports all the time and elevators make a huge difference even for those with no mobility issues. Luggage, bicycles, strollers, etc.

If I take transit to JFK there are elevators at every transfer.

But my quickest route to LGA involves multiple transfers with no elevators so it’s a real pain.

which is really just cruel to begin with but also hurts everyone. Tried getting off at grand street recently? just a few people with mobility issues can really back up the entire system. it's not their fault, they need more time to get down -- they need an elevator. it would help everyone

Ya not true. Every university campus on earth has buildings retrofitted for research labs. It’s not always pretty but it’s most certainly doable. But administrators love their pet construction projects and legacy buildings.

People on this sub insisted that the boroughs were thriving because locals got to stay home in the new work from home era. Truth is, the outer boroughs also relied on people from the suburbs to support their economy (as well as jobs in the city). It's going to be a rough transition, even though obviously WFH is something most people justifiably want if they have the opportunity. Population loss in each of the boroughs is not indicativeof "thriving" if you ask me.

MSK housing of residents and students & I'm sure they will house them somewhere else or exit the housing game & just issue housing stipends only. Sux, there's a faculty bar that's attached to the nearby Rockefeller building, free beer on fri night as long keg don't run out. At least that was the case last time I visited

The article is about what happened in 2022. The last census took place in 2020.

Inpatient units and full OR suites are a bit of a different beast.

Per the comment at the source, the building its replacing is housing.

Is this MSK housing or general housing. What will be the result of getting rid of those apartments?

Actually - 5000.00 fines, each.

Weekend Jail time if not paid.

Then halfway house, if weekend Jail doesn't work.

We can't have police risking lives.

I read it. I live here. That's how I know it's based on old info too. Since the last census, the population has EXPLODED with foreigners. My neighborhood is booked solid with new folks.

The UES has successfully stopped the MTA from adding an accessibility elevator at the Hunter College subway station for over a decade now.

"Neighborhood character" apparently means being a fucking nightmare for anyone with mobility issues.

MSK is broke and laying people off. The state taxpayers will end up paying for this and there are much better, more efficient hospitals the state should suppport first.

Maybe you should read the part of the article that talks about possible reasons for the demographic change

GEORGE: Steven, nothing is higher than architect.

STEVEN: I think I'd really like to be a city planner. Why limit myself to just one building, when I can design a whole city?

WYCK: Well, that's a good point.
