I don't think it was Bloomberg;s intention, but expanding the Brooklyn House of Detention at it's current location makes it accessible to people all over the borough. Many subway lines stop nearby, and loved ones can visit on their way home from work in Manhattan. I say make BHoD as big as necessary. That's not to say that I'm in favor of the Giulianiesque practice of arresting people up for every little thing, but if they are going to lock people up, this is the place for it.
This may be Bloomberg's one accomplishment
