Most of which had recently been developed just prior to 1936. I'm wondering if this Sper fellow had ever been to The City. Maybe what's not mentioned in the article is a large basin above 125 for water skiing fol-lie. Or possibly mr. sper is just racist and chose not to acknowledge Harlem. Sure the plan is doable if you don't consider that Manhattan would then be connected to newjersey, which would lower property values considerably. eww...connected to newjersey. I shudder to think.
