With NYC becoming so expensive to live in anymore, most people move to that area and commute into NYC. I remember going as a kid and the houses were regular one-story houses and a lot of trees, nothing was built up there. Now you go into the track, it's multi-million dollar mansions, townhomes and a lot of corporate business, so knocking down a track is more land for them to build, build, build. I also heard the taxes for the facility are so insane from the township that it's tough to make a profit to keep up on facility needs such as paving, painting, etc.
