"The plan is one of several initiatives aimed at improving access to the outdoors in the New York region under President Obama's America's Great Outdoors campaign."
"The location now has just five campsites, but that number will expand to 90 over the next two years and to 600 eventually, he said."
My, my, my. So many are too broke to go on vacation, so the administration brings the vacation to you. Can you imagine camping on an old airfield? In Brooklyn??

A great way to handle the overflow of illegal aliens when they swing open the gates at the border. Just hand out sleeping bags and open a 24/7 triage.

"We want to make New York the leading example of what we can do around the country with urban parks," Salazar said.People just like you, Mr. Salazar, have already shown us what you can do to urban centers such as Detroit.

Here comes the FEMA camps.....
To: Texas Fossil
I recall years ago on the Island of St. John in the VI the US Park service had put in several camp grounds on the island, one of which was rented hammocks. It was very nice and they provided restrooms, and other amenities for the campers. Then one year the American hippies came and destroyed it all. Some of them are probably senior professors, senators, preachers, etc. now.

Story doesn't say who owned the airport or how it ended up in the hands of the National Park Service, but I bet that selling the land, even in today's crappy Dodd/Frank/0bama market, could bring in enough to retire at least a little of
someone's debt.
Evidently, no one considered that to be as reasonable an option as putting a campground in Brooklyn. I wouldn't be surprised if no one considered that an option at all.

This is the deranged fantasy of a mentally defective idiot.
Camping in Brooklyn, with battery-powered televisions, stereos, and roving bands of gang bangers?
Insanity.

Can you imagine camping on an old airfield? In the USAF, we called those ORIs.

Once they find all the toxins in the ground from decades of use as an airport... the only reasonable use will be as...
An airport!
Gee! Whoda thunk?

Sounds like a good stocked white people pond. I can see the attraction from Brooklynites. Wonder what the license will cost when they can poach for free?
