The Rockaways, aka Rockaway & Rockapulco, is the long skinny peninsula south of Brooklyn and Queens. It's about 10 miles long. I lived there for 6 years until 2000. Family and friends have been going there for generations in Rockaways's bungalows. Here's http://www.mapquest.com/.
Someone oughta call Hank Rearden and Dagny Taggert.
Oh, wait......
“...the MTA could have to submit to not only state but also federal environmental reviews when it comes time to approve the rebuilding plan.”
Environmental reviews? 5, maybe 10 years?
Folks in the Rockaways better hope Obama looses.

Queens residents arm themselves in the post-storm blackout from looters
FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.
Without wheels in Rockaway, they're screwed. In normal times it can be almost an hour driving into Manhattan.
” It can make for a beautiful seen “
Wow! Wirds fayul mee!
Nonsense! That's 3 phone calls, 15 minutes max each, so that's 45 minutes, tops. Obama said so.
It can make for a beautiful seen of families on the beach and fishermen
You know, if the folks don’t want non-union crews to get their power on, let them sit in the dark. And if they want ‘free money’ instead of loans like the poor folks in Mississippi and Alabama got, then my sympathy gets close to zero.
Folks are getting the quality of government and services that they voted for.
How long did it take the US Army to throw up a track across the Rhine River after all the bridges were blown?
Wow. They’re going to have to start with driving piles. Gonna take for-effing-ever! Bridge built from scratch.

The area is no better than the Anhwar tundra in Alaska and must revert, be preserved. The railroad should never be rebuilt

True..In the 50’s, as a youngster, we spent several summers out there..my folks rented a bungalow on Beach 29th ST..I remember there was one bad storm..it may have been a hurricane..the entire peninsula was flooded..the Atlantic and Jamaica Bay were one body of water..it was easily 3 feet deep, and we spent two nights sleeping on the roof of the bungalow..until the water went down..
