Buildings With Asbestos Shunned

I assume it did.

The current, ongoing, Phase I Moynihan Station (West End Concourse Expansion, etc.) includes asbestos abatement, but Farley/Moynihan is a much older building than MSG squatting on the bowels of Penn Station.

The NYT had a recent article on asbestos (the good kind) STILL being used as a low cost building material in India.
