Yes, they only spoke to politicians and developers for this article. Not the people living in these communities. Who cares what we think? The city knows what's best for us. Look at how much we've lost...er, grown in the past year.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Alley "Katz" Melinda! Still "canoodling" with developers. I guess she misses Hevesi! Not to worry...they live nearby each other in Forest Hills!
Again, those folks whose kids go to crowded schools that get a poor education and as a result, a compromised future, should picket Melinda eveytime she attends a public event.
Why is it the needs of the developers who do not live in her district are more important than those that pay her salary?
"In Long Island City, the city will begin $47 million in improvements in 2007 focused on streets, sidewalks, landscaping, and street lighting."
In area that has one hospital (where there used to be three), and cutbacks on services, we know that the developers' landscaping is more important than providing services for the people who paid the taxes.
We now know why their services are being cut back.
I guess the working class people of LIC are only good to be cows to be milked.
The ice cream goes to the developers.
