I've always wondered about that, why wasn't the subway ever extended to include all of Queens and Staten Island?

 

Very underpopulated for when they were building out the system. Pre 1950 there was still tons of farmland east of  Flushing Meadow Park. 

Majority homes were built in the 50s and 60s out here.

Most people aren't interested in being packed like sardines in a subway train.

It's why densely packed cities are antithetical to good environmental and health policies.

 

It's actually bad for your mental and physical health to be stacked on top of eachother and have constant noise pollution, another major factor people always forget.

thats correct and light pollution too, a Harvard study proved it increases the risk of developing cancer 30-50% as much as an unhealthy diet does.  It's because light pollution blocks the release of melanin.
