So is American Dream still going on, or have we woken up yet? I am talking the Mall (Woodbridge: apartments, amusement parks)

1) Deregulate the casino industry
2) Sell the land to a private casino developer
3) Step the eff out of the way, and let the private sector do what it does best - build the crap out of the site and make a ton of gorgeous green money while creating thousands of jobs.
No bonds, no public financing, no taxpayer rape, just get the heck out of the way, and leave it to Capitalism.
And I don't want to hear the obstructionist envirofascists wax on about this smelly swamp located 10 miles from Manhattan. We don't need malodorous bogs of rotting vegetation in this area. There is plenty of useless land for that. The area around NY City should be developed, developed, developed. When we can co longer go out, we should go up.
Sell the damned land to someone who can, using all their own money, make a success out of this. And that means the government needs to get completely out of the way, both financially and legally. Don't regulate it, don't monitor it, don't control it. Get out of the way.
I agree about government staying out of the way of private development but the Meadowlands is enviornmentally sensitive making development a bad idea due to years of toxic waste, flooding, and wildlife is coming back. Don't forget what the Meadowlands was used for from the 1900s through the early 80s
They can turn it into the worlds largest aquarium. NYC metro currently does not have a flagship aquarium. It has the Bronx Zoo, and Safari in Jackson NJ, but no aquarium.

Wasnt this whole debacle originally a private endeavour?
The meadowlands is an ecological biome. Rotting vegetation is all a part of the cycle.

We don't have to preserve rotting vegetation 10 miles from Manhattan and in the middle of a megalopolis. There are sensible remote areas that can remain undisturbed. The cities are for development.
There is such a thing as too much environmental sensitivity.
I'm certain most people are against the Gov't meaning US giving any money to this mess. On the one hand NJ has stopped fixing roads crying poverty, on the other hand we are giving away hundreds of millions to our drunken uncles here to throw into a swamp .
Theres also another useless bad idea being built as you drive over the Driscoll Bridge going south on the GSP if you look to the right (west), another mess of dirt being evened out to create another megamall with reportedly lots of lights to attract humans, like lights attract flies. Another dumb mess.

Lol did not realize that was the case. Have developers not read any of the "malls are dying" reports. Can't people in that area just drive to Menlo Park or Woodbridge?

The NY state aquarium is in Brooklyn.
Anyway I can't wait for American Dream to be built so I can enjoy not going to it.
