It's not a fire sale. This was done years ago. And luckily so, because I don't think the developers would be lining up at this point to pay extra for it, especially if they thought the MTA was just jacking the price for the pandemic.

if you read my link above per foye mta loses $600M in three weeks, so that is peanuts for their needs.

So you think the MTA should continue to throw away money? YES, the MTA is at a loss. We know that.

it's a reminder that employees actually have to be able to get to this tower to work and to go home again and mta will struggle to assist in that daily commuting endeavour as never before.

Oh this sky is falling attitude with some of you. I get it. Everyone is a little afraid. A pandemic could do that to you. But we all have to keep our heads. Yes, the MTA is having funding issues. And yes, this is exactly the type of project that will help with that. There have been some MTA improvements that could be cut, but with projects like this one filling the gap - particularly at one of the busiest transit hubs like this one - every bit helps.
