Reply to comment by [deleted] in MSG could force taxpayers to pay $8.6 billion if NYC doesn't renew its permit by HawtGarbage917

You don't know anything about costs in NY it seems.

We spent line 30 million on a staircase for a subway station.... Widening it.

Do you know what the cost of 2 city blocka on 7th Ave btw 31-33rd st is?

Hudson yards was cheap land because it was built above train yardsthat was previously unusable land

You're talking about land on top of a station that connects LIRR, NJ transit, and many subway lines together ?

5 billions is the land value and air rights alone, buddy.

Are you an expert in land value in manhattan?

Your just saying , OMG BIG NUMBERS

Msg spent well over 1 billion just marginally improving msg btw.

Aside from BIG NUMBERS, and Edmonton, what are you basing your thesis on

Okay, so how did you arrive at your value of the land and air rights on one of the most exoe sive areas in the world?

And the most exoe sive permitting, licensing, construction hard/soft costs etc

The article literally says, 5 billion dollars for the cost to acquire land, not build an arena

How are you definitively arriving that 5 billions dollars is not what it would cost to acquire new land for an arena in the area ?

What does the cost to built an arena in a Canadian city have to do with land value in prime Manhattan ?

The article also says that not one single other arena in the city has been requires to obtain an operating permit (side note)

No pride in how expensive and corrupt the city is, but don't see why we need to let useless comparisons drag on

It sucks that land labor licensing air rights building costs construction are so expensive, but your comparison to an arena in Edmonton is pointless

I still dont understand what that 500 million has to do with the 5 billion dollar cost of land

You said that line 9 responses ago..

Your comparison like saying building a house in Pennsylvania cost $120/psf why is this shoe ox apartment selling for $1500-$3000 in NYC.. it .makes no sense.. ironically I happen to be in the middle of PA this wkd, hence the reddit

NYC is an amazing city, there's no doubting that. I've been to Edmonton before lol. Almost Couldn't pay me enough to move there.

You're taking this so personally, it has nothing to do with pride in expense of New York, but your dimbass comparison makes no sense.

You keep, responding? Despite refusing to acknowledge how pointless your comparison was. Hence why multiple people let you know, lol

Cost to build and land in Edmonton is entirely unrelated to Manhattan. Sorry you can't grasp that .

I'm fucked up for pointing out that the cost in city a is not proportionate to the cost for doing so etbing in an entirely different value and regulatory environment ? Lol

You're just upset that no one has agreed w you or something .

Bye, again, for the 10th time ?
