Default Land Is Needed in the NYC Area For a New Airport

It's obvious to a simple-mind non-expert there is a need.

How close must it be to NYC ?

I'd guesss roughly w/in 65 miles.

The only comparison I know of is that "too damne far," "inconvenient"
Dullles Airport which many would rather avoid for Reagan National.

By "eminent domain"--since money incentive persuasion won't
completely work--because it's past time for starting another airport,
which would seemingly take 5-10 snail-paced years especially if no
existing air force base can be adapted.

Furthermo Anybody complaining of a nuisance (who is residing w/in
certain distance of the location) should be offered a generous buyout
settlement.

What would i do about overall damages to ecology, communities and
establiished ways of life ?

I DUNNO. That's why they have "public relations."

If the valid argument against it is that it would only minimally or
temporarily solve anything, then
nevermind, and please bring back better passenger rail and/or better
busses.




NYC already has THREE airports, why would they need yet
ANOTHER one?
