Spot on, NYGuy. I agree completely on the process. My main gripe isn't with this preliminary stage, but rather the fact that the FAA ultimately holds the scissors to cut down projects like 175 Park Avenue and the Skyline Tower. Taking a step back... Honestly, the most sensible and safe route would be relocating the airports further out and establishing cutting-edge connections to key areas. You get safety, efficiency, and above all, development. But this is NYC—there are too many hands in the pot, and nobody is going to just hand over their piece of the pie.
