Bloomberg is lying?

If you're stupid enough to take a car down the west side highway..you should
sit in traffic..

In article , says...

It's football, only half their games are at home, and only once a season
will it be at home on a Monday night. A few other events, like Jimmy
Buffet concerts, might bring a few more traffic hang-ups.

In a place like Manhattan where there already is so much traffic, that is
just a bigger headache to deal with. The other thing to consider is that
the new stadium is very close to the Lincoln tunnel, so on days when there
are big events, the backups will make their way across the river to NJ.
The Jets can stay in NJ. As for the concernts, MSG can handle that. The
only positive part of the whole stadium project is the Javits convention
center extension. But you don't need to build a stadium to do that. You
can spend a lot less money to do the extension and reap most of the financial
benefits.

But really, for the people that matter, the people that live and work in
NY City,

I am one of them.

they are savvy enough to know that using a car for anything
other than getting out of the city is useless and vain.

Actually, if they build the stadium getting out of Manhattan is going to get
worse since it will be next to one of the exit points in Manhattan. Also,
I think you meant to say owning a car in Manhattan is useless, not the city.
In other parts of the city you have to have a car to get around efficiently.

They'll still
complain like hell though about having a stadium on their island. Even
though the proposal is cool as all hell.

More traffic and more pollution is not cool at all. Just because the Jets
want to be on Manhattan is not a good enough reason to do something as
stupid as building a stadium on a very crowded island. Put a stadium on
Randall's Island. That is considered part of Manhattan.

This can't be correct - otherwise it would mean Mayor Bloomberg is lying
to the public about the reasons to build that new stadium for the Jets
by floating $800 million in bonds.


Why would the city of New York float bonds to build a stadium in New Jersey?


New Yorkers will show you Boston Big Dig people how to steal some real
money from the public.

Velonews must not have gotten the memo from the Jets' PR front office to
suppress these kind of articles.

Help me out here, JT.

They are basically going to screw up traffic
any time there is an event there.

Jeez, Alex, can you think about what you're saying. When is the traffic in
New York NOT screwed up?
