New doesn't mean "glitzy". Coney Island was much, much more than what it
is today. So if we're going to go with the
history
of what it is, or what
it should be, then that means building the types of developments that this
developer is proposing. People often say they don't want it to turn into
a "Vegas" or "Disney", but its
those
places that are the knockoffs...
