One other thing is, there could have been a lot more housing in Willets Point, had they decided to put the soccer stadium on the opposite side of Citi Field where Cohen wants to put a casino. You would have had better luck with that, with the bonus of using the current site for more housing. But, I'm not in charge of things.
Or even better parked next to the house that Ruth built in the Bronx but whatever...
