NY has so many lots undeveloped which boggles the mind but lots of opportunities to develop lots of housing and even bringing jobs like Amazon 2.

I would disagree: large areas of Brooklyn is considered suburban, though dense. Parts of Bronx is suburban, single family homes in the area with less density.

In the 80s, there was more space due to severe blight in parts of the South Bronx, but that was largely filled in by the 90s (hence the ugly, plain looking rowhomes you see many of in some neighborhoods).

Which "large areas" of Brooklyn are considered suburban?

For the Bronx, it's really just parts of Riverdale, and some of the neighborhoods along the LI Sound

I was actually going to point out UN plaza and I’m shocked that piece of land is still there!

I actually thought it would be developed by now. I guess not. Proves my point: lots and lots of vacant lands all over this city. Even saw some in NoHo. LA, on the other hand: not much vacant land left. Same goes for San Jose and SF.

There tons of open land in Bronx, Queens and some in Brooklyn. There are scattered vacant lots in Manhattan area, too. Westside Manhattan is filled with surface/computer operated parking lots and some undeveloped lots.

Those parking lots have to go.

Only thing I will say is NYC has Lots or low rise properties that it can redevelop!
