I for one, ...This is a disaster waiting to happen. I for one, if I am still in NYC during this time, will not be living in Brooklyn. Most of the desirable areas to live are already overpriced and overrated. A majority of the apartments there are just as expensive as Manhattan, perhaps even more. I'd rather stick it out in the EV for now. I often take the L train to the Broadway Junction stop and transfer to the A train to JFK when I have to go out of town. I will miss that one component of the L train. It only takes under 45 minutes. I hope for the sake of the MTA that it won't take that long.

I don't think there will necessary be new venues created (or is 2019 the honey fitz's big chance???) but we'll probably notice an increased concentration of bands choosing more dates this side of the river.
