^ the gov did right. the process has been long set, let it play out. if property owners can’t figure out all their land use obstacles in two years then it wasn’t a good enough site in the first place.

The gov made it way too long in the first place. It never should have taken this long.

No, it should never have taken this long. Hochul is the only one who wanted this thing to drag out. The redundant levels of approval only serve to drag out the clock. Yet, the calendar year is about to change, and it can only be delayed so much. The City approvals are an unneccesary waste of time, as the state’s process will begin afterwards.

But you can’t scream that the state is in such desparate need of funds that congestion pricing needs to start inmediately, while pushing these cash cows down the line, and similarly sitting on a state issued rfp for one Javits site, and outright ignoring a larger one. That’s just stupid.
