Me and plenty of New Yorkers would love to see a subway extension to LaGuardia Airport, but there is one big problem. The neighborhood of Astoria is full of NIMBY's. They don't want the Astoria Elevated tracks to continue running down their neighborhood and ruining their property values. This is a proven fact as the (MTA) proposed this back in 2000.
An N or Q line extension would do wonders for LaGuardia Airport and it won't have to go far, but the neighborhood will throw a sissy fit..........
