Jersey City resident Kevin Shane recently came up with the idea to build a pedestrian bridge from Jersey City to downtown Manhattan, so commuters don’t have to deal with the PATH trains anymore. In theory, it’s nice. But it’s actually a terrible idea. Here’s why:
1. The high rent prices of NYC have already consumed Hoboken. Put in this bridge and they’ll consume Jersey City as well.
2. The Rangers – Devils hockey rivalry might turn into an all out war. Things are at least somewhat under control when water is separating the two armies.
5. Constructing this bridge would ruin the view for at least a year
