I mean sure, I participated in studios where we “advised” clients on how they should develop an area. But we had the advantage of being students who could propose very ideal scenarios without worrying about real world constraints of budget, political willpower, etc.

If this ever gets accomplished, does it make sense to spend billions of dollars to extend the Air Train or PATH (or both) to this site?
