I envision Coney Island as Miami-off-Manhattan. A party district ALA New Orleans French quarter, with bars, strip clubs and casinos, and everything in between, towered over by near-supertall white apartment complexes heavy on the balconies.
Let's make Coney Island great again. |
Coney Island's time is coming again. Still a long way to go, but it's already come a long way from where it was.

I wonder if this year's debuts will happen...

Coney Island is pretty far from Manhattan. It isn't gonna be a "French Quarter" for Manhattan-centered tourists and thrillseekers.
Also, there's a large, established community there, surrounding the amusements. Tons of Russians/Ukrainians on the eastern half, and a mix of Orthodox Jews, AAs, Hispanics and Chinese on the western half. That area has come so far in my years in NY. It has gone from borderline slum to really interesting area. Can't wait for the future. Tons of housing being built, and the amusement parks are expanding. |
Plus The Warriors live there and no doubt some other gangs would try to frame them for messing everything up.

Nice Pictures, but I know people are not deadass swimming in that water B.
I don't even swim at rehobeth beach, Im from Florida so I know what real water/beach is. Up north beaches are good for a quick getaway but they are really bad and dirty. |

Yea ok Florida has the cleanest beaches, are you sure about that? Last I heard, there are sewage pipes draining dirty shit water in Miami beach, and they ain’t getting fixed until 2025 buddy Your Florida beach filled with poop: https://www.local10.com/news/local/2...proves-its-so/ |

so don't act like up north is equal to Florida because it's not. |

An unpopular opinion but Coney Island is how I envision a beach community in dystopian future novels. I'm not a native New Yorker, so I have no standing on the matter, but it's one of the most overrated places I've ever been to in my life. My personal and perhaps misguided opinion. |
