Some Willets Point Auto Shops Shuttered, Others Continue Business as UsualHunts Point is already similar to Willets point, it's packed with ton's of auto repair/scrap/auto salvage places. Why would they go to an already saturated area, the bronx has tons of pockets like this with whole blocks full of shady auto repair places and they all look like filthy post apocalyptic nightmares. Their argument of allowing a customer to shop around is BS because they all have unspoken rules and charge about the same. They want hunts point because they want to do whatever they want, ie: pollute, dump and allow the area to go into disrepair. The Bronx has the highest asthma rate and has enough pollution why add to the problem.
