Business Insider, 3/29/18:

 


 

The impending shutdown of a New York City subway line is clobbering rents in parts of Brooklyn

 

The impending L-train shutdown is a bargain or a curse, depending on how much of a hellish commute New Yorkers are willing to endure.

Starting in April 2019, the tunnel through which the L train runs between Manhattan and Brooklyn is scheduled to be closed for 15 months to repair damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

A deep dive on the West Village lawsuit over the L train shutdown plans

 

 

With just under a year to go until the much-heralded L train shutdown, Manhattanites are growing restless. They’re not, however, concerned with the transit apocalypse that may be headed 14th Street’s way, and they don’t seem to believe, as many transit advocates do, that DOT and the MTA’s mitigation plan isn’t robust enough.

Curbed New York, 5/15/18:

 


 

The L train shutdown is a year away—what effect will it have on rent prices?

 

 

With less than a year to go until the impending L train shutdown, renters who live in neighborhoods along the line are starting to consider their options. The 15-month shutdown will halt L service between Brooklyn and Manhattan while the MTA repairs the damaged Canarsie tunnel, forcing at least 225,000 daily commuters to find alternate means of transportation.
