I understand that because it was a major ammunition and fueling facility for the Army and later Coast Guard that the ground is so contaminated by current EPA type standards that no one can live there. Sounds stupid because all the coasties that raised kids there never had any health problems.

Twenty minutes northeast, in the Long Island Sound we have David's Island, location of the former Ft. Slocum. Every few years the city of New Rochelle/county of Westchester/or some developer express and interest in doing something with this abandoned island.
I've heard it is now home mostly to rats (makes Canada geese sound like a more desirable tenant). It has a colorful past as an army base/staging area, potential Con Ed nuclear plant site, a potential Trump mariana development, and even a WWII POW holding area.
All we see now from the beach clubs on the New Rochelle shoreline are overgrown grasses and the shells of some buiding and unusable docks. Another island, just minutes from downtown NYC.
