That’s pretty specific. I don’t know enough about NY development to know what Article 78 says but I imagine you don’t want that mess.
So even if the RFP was announced tomorrow we'd probably be waiting 6 months for a developer to be awarded the site.
I will gladly forfeit my brick in exchange for a booze cruise pregame ferry to the stadium every game.
Another negative article, but it has links to the REFI:

Bit of bad news, the 2022 date is based off being awarded the RFP in mid-'17, so we are already looking at the 2023 season (Part 2 on page 71 has a schedule)

I think that is for the whole project. Stadium's don't take that long in the scheme of things. Let's say hypothetically final approval for this project doesn't come until early 2019 and we break ground until early 2020, there is no reason that the stadium couldn't open at the latest halfway into the 2021 season.
I am basing my timeline of DC United, Atlanta, and LAFC.
I am guessing that between NY red tape and the need to first build a platform over the tracks, our construction will take longer.
I guess we lightly touched upon this, but the no dedicated parking thing would kind of suck for drivers. No one wants to drive and then get on a boat or a bicycle. I assume even without a dedicated lot, there will be garage options, etc. but I don't know that area enough to comment on the possibilities.
Written by the same guy and totally exposes all his biases. Hack.
Just to further clarify, they are saying that preparing the site will cost 100 million total (25 to fix the esplanade and then 75 million for a platform over the rail tracks).
The breathless tone is hysterical.
Could be true, but I'd think LA/California have just as much red tape if not more than NY.
