Land Is Needed in the NYC Area For a New Airport
"Robert Cohen" wrote in message ... 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? |

There's also a problem with duplicative service: if there's, say, 500 people in the NYC area that want to fly to Miami at 3pm on Tuesday, one 737 goes from EWR and another 737 goes from LGA, instead of a single flight. The basic reason for this problem is that its three airports instead of one "Super Airport", so you don't get the full aggregation effect of a classical hub. One straightfoward-sounding way to solve this would be with some sort of inside-security super-highspeed subway line to shuttle passengers and their checked baggage between the airports. Thus, the different airports could begin to specialized more. However, while this approach is conceptually simple, it would be a vastly complex and expensive undertaking to make a reality. -hh |
