The connection between Congestion and Real-estate is clear. Congestion Pricing further increases the relative value of downtown property as people move closer to work. If congestion pricing is coming to your downtown, buy now.

Broadly speaking, principles of environmentally friendly building construction -- high density apartment and commercial buildings close to transit -- are exactly the kind of thing that New York developers and building owners would find profitable. Even without being LEED-certified as "green," New York buildings are a wonderful thing for the environment. I’m surprised something like this hasn’t happened sooner.

Just plays into a message that the powerful know what's good for us, rather than addressing real questions that possible supporters want answered. But what can you expect from REBNY?
