Pondering Willets Point
Over at Metsblog, Matt Cerrone writes about a few of the things he’s pondering regarding the Mets. The issues include Carlos Beltran, Citi Field ticket prices, and the Willets Point Proposal. Of the proposal, Matt writes:
Is it fair that residents and businesses in the Iron Triangle may be forced to move out by the city to make way for the development of Willetts Point, a downtown setting of bars, restaurants and retail to accompany Citi Field. On one hand, as a modern-Libertarian, I feel this should be negotiated between the businesses that are directly involved, and not by Government. On the other hand, I love the idea of being able to hang out in a fun, downtown setting prior to seeing the Mets in Citi Field – assuming I can find and afford a ticket.
He concludes the post with the following:
If you have any insight on the above, let me know.
Matt runs one of the best blogs out there, and I definitely can see where he’s coming from with the conflicted thoughts on Willets Point. That being said, head on over and let him know how you feel about the potential development of the neighborhood.
