And this is an excellent plan for the city. It ensures that we have room to grow, within the inner city. If the city were to try to develop everything now, it would do so at existing demand levels, which would fill the East Village with low-density mediocrity. Then, as demand increases, development would be more expensive, because it would require replacing that mediocrity. Better to constrain supply so that East Village develops at a higher density, and the West Village is set aside for growth. Effectively, by doing it this way, we get both the East Village and West Village right the first time instead of having to redo both of them a few decades down the road.
