    EP and Kingston is an awful location. The 770-clutter makes things congested enough as it is. Where did you hear this?

    The are too many cars, so the best bet is to get people on bikes and mass transit. So either you can improve the infrastructure for mass transit and bikes, or just make life miserable for car owners. NY is going for the latter.
