I always get a snicker when I read about Roosevelt Island. Apparently it was called tuberculosis island or something similar around a century ago. My grandmother was quarantined there for a while before being permitted to enter the country. When its medical use was ended and it was looking at being developed someone realized that nobody in their right mind would want to move to tuberculosis island so they gave it a fancier new name.
