Reply to comment by Pool_Shark in Vornado pumps brakes on Gov. Kathy Hochul's Penn Station project by ShinyGodzilla

Housing can’t go up everywhere. There are zoning regulations, etc.

New office buildings are not the worst thing in the world either and Class A is certainly not ‘sitting empty’ — look at Hudson Yards. It’s the older buildings that are tenantless, but there’s an opportunity there to convert or raze those into residential like they did in Fidi.

Anyway, they are pulling out using soft wording because it’s not as clear 100% anymore if Hochul is going to stay put. It is pretty obvious.

If we get a Republican governor we are kinda screwed. The economy is already trashed and their policies would make it so much worse.

She’s not the best, but I’d rather have her in office than the racist robber barons.

She did okay taking over for Dickish Rich, er, Chris— I mean, Luigi— I mean Super Mario Cuomo— I mean, Andrew Cuomo.
