While, as you said, the Penn Station area is quite livable as it is, I think it's universally agreeable that the area still has room for some serious streetscape improvements, among many other things

Definitely, beginning with the problem of hardcore drug use and street dealing.

Is there such a thing as a Tokyo Cheesesteak?

I'm pretty sure there is now, though I don't think there was one, at least not to my knowledge, in '09, when I lived in Tokyo and wanted a cheesesteak.

I work just a block away from Penn Station and since the Hudson Yards have gone up, we've seen 2 apartment buildings go up within eyesight of our building. Things are improving around here.
