Im surprised billionaires haven't snatched these up and turned them into private islands.

  Limited accessibility make them less desirable.

    Limited accessibility if you have your own Yacht or helicopter?
    • jrockway 13y ago
      Yes. There are many weather conditions that occur in New York that make yachts and helicopters more dangerous than driving a car over a bridge.
    • ganeumann 13y ago
      It's just off the approach to Laguardia's runway 13. Helicopter might be problematic.

  You're overestimating the appeal of an island in the middle of the East River.
  • joeblau 13y ago
    I laughed because you're absolutely right. I just figured that if its near Manhattan, it can't be that bad.

      Also, if you live there, you can’t be called ‘bridge and tunnel’, because there is neither a bridge nor a tunnel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_and_tunnel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_and_tunnel
