How about a little nature getaway, bed and breakfast with a park that would be affordable only to the 1%?

History Channel needs to quit using sci-fi sound effects to jazz up their videos. It's annoying.

yo bang them birds on it, its all good- finally a area of land for the wildlife 2 cope with us, theres far 2 many of us.

The island is a landmark now because of the rare birds that have chosen to live there. The city has left it so that the birds can have the land.

There is also hart island (Potters field)

I think it was a place to kill those that were infected with outbreak diseases.

Why doesn't somebody buy the Island ? or why doesn't the City fix up the Island ?

[PeterFormaini]

@indyfan22k - I imagine the city of New York (or the state - not sure which owns it) is having enough financial difficulties right now without spending tens of millions to repair or rebuild. (Can you imagine the 'hidden' costs that would entail, including environmental restrictions? Plus, what could one use it for? A prison? They already have Riker's Island. Housing? I cannot imaginehow much it would cost to buid there - plus you then have transport costs from island to shore.
