He had to put up the fight to "satisfy" the NIMBYs who have supported him. The public improvements were part of even the Bloomberg plan. But now he can stand there and say "well, see, I fought for this". The NIMBYs meanwhile just don't want the buildings. Some of them probably couldn't care less about the public improvements to the subway and railroad, if they even use it at all.
