I don't live in the desert. I don't live on the moon. I live in a very popular neighborhood of Queens, NY. Why is this taking so damned long?
I'm afraid it's true.

Actually they recently said they might be interested in doing some expansion. But expect them to do lots of Cherry Picking for what areas they would expand into.
Queens, as part of NYC, is in a area that they still are scheduled to complete.
