NYC's Bold Vision: New Manhattan Expansion
Imagine New York City with an extra 1,760 acres at its southern tip. This is the bold vision of Rutgers professor Jason Barr, who aims to combat rising sea levels while providing 180,000 new homes for 247,000 people. The new land, called New Mannahatta, harks back to the island's original indigenous name.

Thousands of miles of old broken down apartments all over nyc outside Manhattan that could easily fix the housing shortage

@jlschump Месяц назад

exactly, not one of the new buildings will be for "affordable housing" it will all be top dollar upper class housing.

@kryan1234567890 Месяц назад

You say easily, bro that’s a lot of time, money, and coordination. There’s a reason those buildings are empty; many of them aren’t up to local code to be considered a safe dwelling (I’m an NYC construction worker for perspective).

@drewidlifestyle7883 Месяц назад

@@kryan1234567890and…. Filling in landfill to expand the entire island with enough density to support more skyscrapers is…. Easier? Cheaper? Tear down the old buildings not up to code and build new ones.

@Teutathis Месяц назад

@@kryan1234567890Not an NYC contractor, but have worked in the construction sector in Europe, and this is one hundred percent accurate. Sometimes renovating old buildings aren't possible and needs to be knocked down partially or entirely. There's a reason why we stopped building using certain substances and techniques, and gutting a house filled with cancerous substances is not a cheap process. Especially not when the stuff needs to be disposed of in an responsible manner as well. Maybe it could be considered profitable if done at scale because It's New York after all, but don't expect the end product to be cheap.

@ivanv754 Месяц назад

Or you could upzone middle Queens, northern Astoria and throw a couple of subway lines for a fraction of the cost.

It’s basically Mexico City lol Mexico City lives under a lake So nyc could do the same lol

@Fabiansegara1969 Месяц назад

why not buiilding a some kind of Delta Works to protect NYC? Like we did in the Netherlands. It's more effective and saves a lot of money on maintenance for the NYC coastlines and waterfronts. Expanding Manhattan, still brings the risk, that it will be flooded by rising sealevels. Because the other places are still vulnerable for floodings

@justSTUMBLEDupon Месяц назад

Excellent point.

@MegaJohnf1 Месяц назад

I suggest you build a train from dreadful, embarrassing JFK airport into Manhattan and try to look like a modern city...

@ANON-yj9lm Месяц назад

Air train to the E train……………………

@starventure Месяц назад

There already is a train. It takes you to Jamaica LIRR and subway connections where you have the choice to go to Manhattan or anywhere outside the city. In addition, most of the terminals at JFK are of recent build, so no...JFK is not dreadful or embarrassing. You are being a snob.

@newyorkernewjersey Месяц назад

@@starventure it's really a shithole - have you travelled out of the states? it's dreadful.

@starventure Месяц назад

@@newyorkernewjersey I've been to CDG, FRA, LHR, MAD, BCN, FCO, ATH, CAI, NRT, HKG, SYD, and some more. Don't lecture me that JFK is a shithole when AMS has druggies in the airport train station pooping on the tracks, CDG is an overly complex layout that is inconvenient, CAI is a claustrophobes nightmare. Every airport and city has different needs, and NYC decided that serving the entire region was a better move than forcing people into the city for no reason.

@@starventure good for you. I’ve been to Europe and Asia as well. All I’m saying is we could do better. Chill out man no need to get offended

This is the most idiotic idea I have ever seen. There is no chance in hell this happens and never should.

@mrblock1318 Месяц назад

For 81 Billion you could Literally fix/redefine St. Louis, Detroit, Memphis, KC, and maybe two other mid-western rust belt cities. Spread the wealth a bit.

@diIbert Месяц назад

We could spend trillions modernizing old cities. Those projects alone would be an economic engine for the US. But. We don't have a Congress that gives a poop about the US.

@kvm1992 Месяц назад

Nonsense. Insanity is the definition of doing the same things over and over again while expecting different results. There is no fixing of anything and the cost to do so would be in the trillions. If it has to be fixed then that means it was built with terrible planning. There's only the tearing down of such cities and making way for new ones. Newer cities are less expensive than fixing old ones problems and the time for old cities to be fully repaired would take more than a lifetime.

@starventure Месяц назад

Congratulations on finding a new form of reparations spending. How creative of you.

@Sora_Nai Месяц назад

And why tf would New Yorkers spend their money for cities they don’t live in. Don’t be dumb think before you talk.

@chilam2512 13 дней назад

I think it's a good idea, it can build a new bridge connection bklyn with manhattan to release that gridlock traffic on the manhattan bridge and bklyn bridge on the BQE.

@spadeespada9432 Месяц назад

This is the most asinine (maybe assi-eleven) I've ever heard. The mechanics aren't impossible but the impact on currents and marine traffic - during building and after. And what about hurricanes during construction.

@rustinpierce7269 Месяц назад

It would just sink

@prettytony1381 Месяц назад

This is definitely happening as of now. Maybe not completed in our lifetime but overtime it will. The old housing market (houses and buildings old enough to be tore down) will become the affordable housing market.

@HappyFaceLee Месяц назад

yes, NYC does in fact have a shortage of affordable housing. yet, every time a new project is cultivated, it's 99% luxury suites. this wouldn't be any different. GTFOH

@rainemccandless8160 Месяц назад

All the money poured into Hudson Yards and all we got was another playground for rich people who take helicopter taxis to and from the airport.

@justSTUMBLEDupon Месяц назад

2:00 Ummmm question: if you create this land to help create more housing, wouldn’t that endure more activity to a point where more people will come and you will still have a lack of housing? 3:20 even the evidence you use to create more land still has us at a point where we still need more housing. It just endures more demand especially if you have an open boarder allowing people to enter without hinderance to come in.

@princecuddle 17 дней назад

How are they worried about housing when 40% of them don't even pay or are empty apartments.

@petermccavington8232 Месяц назад

45000 in 1 year he said 😂😂😂try multiplying that number ✖️ 10 and that's still being conservative

@martinmaldonado1498 Месяц назад

I’m here for it. Also why can’t we do this for all coast lines in the eastern Us? It’ll be expensive but the US throws trillions at the military so why not

@highground2320 Месяц назад

This is a mega project that would be economically and is technology possible. Unlike something like the "the Line" which would never work.

@rhino6634 20 дней назад

You know how long it took them to get funding to expand the 100 year rail lines underneath between NJ and NYC. They just got funding(8 billion) and the plan is on track to be finished in 10 years. What in the world makes you think this crazy vision will happen when they can't even take care of the basics

@joncuz718 Месяц назад

81 billion???, try 810 billion once its all done.

@martian9999 Месяц назад

it makes very good economic sense to expand one of the most in-demand real estate areas in the world. It wouldn't make so much sense to have migrants and other poor folks live there. The middle class will gladly pay for short commute distances. Better to make public transport better for the outskirts.

@diIbert Месяц назад

Yea umm they wont let the middle class live there either.

@starventure Месяц назад

BS, the middle class pays a high price for a longer commute to stay clear of the blacks. Stop being ignorant of reality.

This does nothing for the rest of NYC. Only about 12% of the population lives in Manhattan, the rest lives in the outer boroughs which are much more threatened by climate change like Brighton Beach, Flushings, and LaGuardia. You could do so much more for the city by restoring wetlands and aquatic ecosystems, building up in areas of Brooklyn and Queens with limited subway connections, and decarbonizing NYC's power grid. The fact this video defends gentrification which is killing many of NYC's authentic cultures and is driving out much of the city's population is a red flag.
