1 week agoSunday Read: Middle Village Has a Love-Hate Relationship with the IBX - Streetsblog New York City
Tell me if you've heard this before: No one is going to use the new train - it will bring endless waves of drugs and crime and homeless people. The train will jack up real estate prices - and turn surrounding neighborhoods into polluted and dangerous hell-holes that no one wants to live in. That's more or less how dozens of opponents of the MTA's Interborough Express light-rail project presented their contradictory and confusing case at an open house in Middle Village on Wednesday night.
