Bigger cruise ships coming to Manhattan's West Side under new piers plan

LOL just thinkin bout all them massive ships dockin at one place its gonna be crazy! But seriously tho i dont get why we need 3 ships dockin at once tho isnt that just gonna cause even more traffic congestion on the waterfront? and whats with this $1-per-passenger fee id mean i gotta pay extra to take a stroll around midtown? i hope they got some sick new restaurants or somethin to make up for it

I'm all for upgrading our city's infrastructure, but gotta wonder if we're prioritizing progress over sustainability . I mean, shore power is a huge step in the right direction, but are we doing enough to minimize our carbon footprint? It's like, yeah, we want tourists, but at what cost?

I'm actually kinda cool with this cruise terminal upgrade . I mean, let's be real, NYC is always gonna be one of the top tourist spots in the world. It's about time we step up our game to compete with other major ports. And yeah, I get it, there are some environmental concerns... but shore power is a solid move, it'll definitely help reduce pollution. Plus, think of all the jobs that will get created during this construction process . It's not like we're gonna be breaking the bank or anything (we'll see about that tax payer dollars ). Overall, I think this plan has some solid benefits to offset those potential drawbacks.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea... I mean, think about all the tourists we'll get with more capacity . But at the same time, shore power is a great way to reduce pollution, so that's a definite plus . Can you imagine how crowded Midtown will get though? And a $1-per-passenger fee might be a bit steep for some people . I'm all for the city trying to boost tourism, but we gotta think about how it'll affect the local community too .
