Not to get into a debate about gentrification here, but that isn't the answer to every problem. Nor should it be. The district will likely remain a thoroughfare for the working class, and it needs to. Sitting next to the hub of the LIRR, there will be direct access to Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, as well as Kennedy and all of Long Island. You could argue it's one of the best transit centered developments in the city. And for that, I love it.
