A New Neighborhood, from the Ground Up
The recent groundbreaking of the Hudson Yards project will usher in five years of construction that will extend the High Line to West 34th Street, build platforms over the rail yards, construct massive commercial and residential high-rise towers and provide public spaces and a K-8 school for new residents.

What a pile of junk! How much are we the tax payers paying for this private for profit boondoggle? Does the plan include flood walls? 12 years of construction noise, dust and congestion. It's time to end the so called "developers" reign of terror over our city. 100% affordable housing for working people now!
Go, Scott! Forbes did a piece reporting that hiring will be done out of California, too much of it non-union and
that Related will manufacture all construction needs from its plant in China. Politics go back to Doctoroff days.
And it's we the citizens who foot the bill.

This looks like an abomination. It looks like more Dubai than NYC, USA. This isn't the way it was proposed to us years ago. Go Scott, with all of the construction, noise, dust and congestion, where is the benefit for the local community.
After all of the years of being called an "area of taxi garages, wasted space, warehouses, no one lives here." well, during the years of this so called planning, this neighborhood has evolved into a vibrant family community. It looks like the taxpayer is yet again getting shafted by the developers.
