That’s not at all what it’s about since business options in such an isolated space with severe height restrictions aren’t great to begin with.

There’s already plans for a renewable energy power generation project there that are public. Space that is isolated yet proximate to the economic center of the country is incredibly rare and valuable and I’m not gonna debate that any further

Renewable energy projects won’t do anything for mysterious business interests and will make the city more resilient and energy independent which is all positive. Not sure how you can make that sound nefarious but I’m sure you’ll give it a shot.

The plant is privately owned Jesus Christ…the plan is detrimental to 4 nyc neighborhoods for the benefit of a private company developing public land it is nefarious

The plan is in no way detrimental to the four neighborhoods and in fact two of them already have jails on the exact site. Can’t say they’ve negatively impacted either lower Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn.

Ok you clearly aren’t aware of the details or impact of the plan. Good night

Are you? Because the information is extremely public and you haven’t actually refuted what I just said.
