I think people make the mistake that NIMBYs represent the population, when in reality they’re just a very vocal and obnoxious minority as is the case in most places. I feel like most people there would appreciate a direct line to either Brooklyn or Manhattan, ideally both. I don’t think the city is wrong per se in prioritizing the other boroughs as they have more people, but I still think that Staten Island shouldn’t be left out of the mix. It’s still a big part of the city.
