Yeah, I've gotten the vibe that De Blasio will hold anything up. They problem is NYC is so Donkey now, the only way to oust him is to do it in the primaries.
Scroll down to "worldwide reach" section of this article and Randy Levine says that not only do the Steinbrenner kids love soccer so did their papi. Hal Steinbrenner said something along the same lines in an old press release when Real Madrid came to town. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...n-y-soccer-team-controlled-by-manchester-city
Now I didn't say that!! LOL I do think they'll be patient with NYCFC but in the end they'd prefer to move them out AND get control of a new venue as well. So I don't expect them to stay at YS forever as some will have you believe.

That would be a good location, My commute there would be longer by 3x but I'd do it (I'd have to take the A downtown to the 7). It would also attract a huge number of fans from Jackson Heights as well!
Queens Borough Prez: "Let's consider a soccer stadium at Willets Point." Hudson River Blue They can share the parking lot with the Mets because nobody show for their games anyway. The ground could be contaminated real bad at that location & major expense for clean up thou.
everyone understands that the deal will not happen unless everyone agrees that the Mutts will take 100% of all parking revenues
Terrible location for purely selfish reasons. I'm a 10 minute walk from Yankee Stadium. I'm a 90 minute Subway ride from Willett's point. It's only takes 20 minutes to get there by car but who owns a car in Manhattan?
http://www.empireofsoccer.com/lets-...a-soccer-or-hockey-stadium-in-flushing-57719/ Seems like the Willets Point situation is still in the pipe dream stages. Even its chief proponent says a serious discussion is years away.
Been reading some urban development articles and lots of discussion about covering the Amtrak yard at Sunnyside with a "cap" and building lots of housing, offices, housing. Could this be a site to work? Or a small corner of it. Transit would see to be good. My other area is the Brooklyn ship yard. Has that ever been raised as a site, is being developed now or in the future? Would this also be in the area with that light rail line proposed?
Why? The Cosmos are a non-entity and don't bring a blessed thing to the table in the process of getting a SSS built in the city. Besides, is anyone going to be surprised when the Cosmos fold (again) at the end of the season?
If either one of them is capable of doing it (which would seem to involve making available land appear by magic), why haven't they already done it?
Holcombe Rucker Park. There's room in the immediate area to rehouse the existing residents and maintain public park facilities.
I take it the buildings are so dilapidated that they need replacing? Is this a working discussion? or just a suggestion? My initial thoughts are, no way in hell De Blasio, Cuck King Mayor of NY, does anything to Harlem that isn't strictly promoting housing for poor people. All it would take is 5 NIMBY activists complaining and the potential project would be tabled. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You need to meme that. Gives it more authority.
Just a suggestion. You'd have to put the existing tenants in even better accommodation. If De Blasio, Cuck King Mayor of NY, doesn't want to do anything to Harlem that isn't strictly promoting housing for poor people, why do middle-class people like me get a ten year 100% property tax abatement for moving here and why is the city gutting low income local public housing and replacing them with middle income rental housing?
I wouldn't waste your breath trying to debate someone who uses phrases like Cuck King. Dumbshits gonna dumbshit.
There's no point in even talking about Mayor De Blasio and this stadium project, anyway. The two will never co-exist. And lets keep cuckolding and personal attacks out of this thread.
