The problem with trying to make rail to SI happen is that the strongest voting bloc is SFH property owners who are mostly italian reactionaries affiliated with NYPD or FDNY or DOC or "contractors" (aka the mafia). Those are also almost entirely jobs that require a car to get to/from work because the transit network in NYC is mostly built around office workers in midtown. These people hate mass transit, because it helps "those people" get around more easily, and they perceive it to be at odds with the efficient movement of private car traffic.

Whereas the north shore is primarily Black, renters, multifamily dwelling, and doesn't mix much with the goombas in the rest of Richmond County. Renters statistically have a much lower turnout at election time for a variety of reasons, one of which being that they (to some extent correctly) believe "the system" isn't for them, and won't work for them.

Also Bayonne has a history of being antiblack and hostile to infrastructure that might "import the blacks". The demographics have shifted a lot recently but once again, the property owning population is mostly still white and deeply suspicious of anything that would let "those kind of people" get in and out more easily. This would obviously be repackaged in a more palatable message to voters like "but what about the impact on local business?!?!" but NJ voters would understand the real meaning.

Lastly the small overlap of people who (a) thinks about SI at all and (b) wants it prioritized over something else that matters will probably prefer to see a link under the verrazzano narrows, so they're not going to like this plan either.

tl;dr never going to happen

I think we should give them inland rockland county as a goodwill gesture, along with orange county to port jervis. That would mean transferring the pointless port jervis line to NJT who can decide what they want to do with it (maybe sell it to foamers). They can also keep all the measles freaks and religious maniacs, we don't want them.

Obviously we (the state of NY) would keep the area along the hudson from palisades up to the bear mountain bridge, and make that part of the city of yonkers to help them smooth out their inherited tax revenue issues from the dark ages of the 70s and 80s, and lighten the burden on this generation of working class yonkers folx who still pay the luxurious pensions of retired organized crime lords (aka the police).

Bergen county down to jersey city would be annexed to new york county and become exclaves, similar to marble hill. Everything down to bayonne stays as NY county. Also we keep st. george down to arrochar and that becomes annexed to kings county. The 11th congressional district gets dissolved and merged with the 9th. Malliotakis gets arrested for treason and put in a prison barge in long island sound pending her trial, scheduled for spring of 2049. No bail, because bail reform bad ;-)

>>1960169
Image editors aren't magic. If the pixels in the blacked out area are fully black, they can't bring back what was there before. Stuff like xraying only works with clothing or marks that were slightly transparent to start with.

I have accidentally posted my name and address on /ck/ because I was reviewing something I bought in the mail, and someone in the thread pointed it out, but nobody did anything

weird to think about how many times I may have unknowingly communicated with people in my outer circles via 4chan. this reminds me of the time I argued with someone on reddit and realized partway through the argument that it was my coworker

It's a beautiful dream, but it's just that, a dream. First off, the North Shore line has been developed over, there's tons of businesses building up along Richmond Ter that aren't going to want to go anywhere just so people can connect to St. George. The Bayonne Bridge just got a facelift a few years ago, so nobody is going to pay to put rails on it, and even if they did the Hudson-Bergen light rail has too many stops to make a commute to Manhattan feasible, let alone one of the other borroughs. As for the last option, connecting to NJTransit, that rail is fucking EXPENSIVE and going that far out of the way just to connect back to midtown Manhattan is gonna be a no-starter. Much as I love rail, none of the Jersey connections beat the SIM bus, which has several lines all over the island and connects to downtown AND midtown. The best Staten Islanders can hope for is turning a couple lanes on the lower Verrazano Bridge into a rail connection to Bay Ridge.

No, retard, nobody is going to build another chunnel when: A) there's multiple bus routes connecting SI to Manhattan, B) it would be much easier to run rails over the Verrazano bridge, and most importantly C) New York is more likely to have zero rush hour traffic than it is to NOT tell SI to get fucked vis a vis transit connections.

Here's my proposal. It allows for seamless integration between the SIR and the rest of the NYC subway, once you sort out the traffic and headway kinks you might be able to have a one-seat trip all the way from Astoria or Forest Hills into Staten Island, depending on which line you decide to co-opt. It would make the MTA's life a little easier when they do repair work on the trains since they wouldn't have to truck it over the Verrazzano Bridge to Coney Island anymore.

They were going to build a tunnel here 100 years ago but gave up, there's about 100 feet of tunnel that they carved out under Owl's Head Park.

>>1968272

It was literally a condition of the charter for Staten Island joining NYC that they get a subway connection, but if there's one thing anyone knows about NYC, it's that fuck SI.

I don't understand what you mean. This line already follows the Hackensack River all the way north to the New York border.

I think any of these proposals would be preferable, to instating the entirety of ex-Jersey as a borough, I do like these.
Either the northmost border or the one under it would get my vote. If going with the northmost, I'd guess formerly-Oradell and formerly-New Milford would form a new township, or be absorbed into Dumont. A bit messy, so maybe the Teaneck/Englewood border would be better.
