Words cannot express the sentiments I feel regarding this.
Of course, all the development they want to talk about doesn't matter until we get a real train system in here. One that has more than one line, thanks. It would have been so simple to connect Staten Island to Brooklyn with a train line via the Verrazano, but it wasn't built like that, was it?
Staten Island can't come to anything without a real system. Trains flat out, subway, trolley for all I care, busses and cars just won't cut it.
(On a similar, but not really related note, this city as a whole needs to make more use of its waterways. There should be ferries between running all up and down Manhattan, and to each of the other boroughs. Real ferries, that people really use often.)
