Second Ave. businesses suffer

by Benjamin Kabak

A sympathy piece in this week’s New York Magazine details how businesses along the Second Ave. Subway construction zone are suffering. It’s tale we’ve heard before, and while I’m sympathetic to the plight of these business owners and encourage the MTA to fairly compensate them, I can’t oppose one project that stands to benefits hundreds of thousands of people because of a little inconvenience now.

If the MTA has to compensate them now, does it get to tax them later when the line is up and running?
