The fact you can't fix everything at once doesn't mean you fix nothing. Runway expansion will probably take decades, and Cuomo will long since be retired. It's a very complex political and environmental issue.

I actually don't have any problem with the terminal replacement projects at JFK or LGA. They're both long overdue. Given the realities of the airspace I'm not sure runway expansion at either would necessarily boost their performance a lot. Airfield expansion at EWR would probably be a better bet, especially if you could close TEB in the bargain.
