Traffic is bad in that area, and the Mets need more parking space. NYCFC should have thought about having a multipurpose stadium 90,000 capacity with a retractable roof at Belmont Park or Aqueduct Park. Both locations has more land and parking space along with mass transit as well accessibility to highways. Maybe the Jets or Giants or both could be a tenant.
Affordable housing is a pie in the sky dream . That train left the station in 2010 when stuff was relatively affordable. The cost to build anything in 2024 is anything but affordable regardless of whether it’s a union labor force or not. My guess is it’s likely the former.
