No, they should spread out more evenly across the area. Some North, some East and some West. I mean, if this were SimCity you would just nuke everything and start over, but obviously you can't really do that so you have to live with some of the physical obstacles and just try to work around them over time. Staten Island would be a good place for a lot of development given its low density.

You're advocating turning New York into Sprawlsville, USA. There is a very good reason New York is so special and unique in the United States. 95% of U.S. cities mirror your preferred pattern of development, so you have have a very large selection of cities to chose from. Move there?
