Why the Plan to Toll Bridges Will Succeed; Is NYC Becoming a ‘Gated Community?’

Extell Development this week applied to demolish part of a block in Hell's Kitchen to build a venue that will host a hologram show featuring the Swedish pop band ABBA. As first reported by Crain's, the firm seeks to raze a string of low-rise buildings in Hell’s Kitchen—formerly home to a strip club, a dance club, and a lumberyard—between 11th Avenue and West 45th and 46th Streets. The new venue will become the permanent home for ABBA Voyage, a production designed by the legendary 1970s pop group featuring holograms of their younger selves, according to the New York Times.
