Flushing??? By the time they get to a hearing they won't be anything left.
what a bunch of horse crap!
No, I believe they are sensitive to public opinion, and being politicians, expert at the art of doing something without changing the status quo.
A token block with people of color landmarked negating charges of discrimination. Making sure the Queens skyline that the Manhattanites see is landmarked (boosting Queens numbers slightly.)
So why are you still complaining you ingrates at Queens Crap?
Because it is too little too late.
Let us talk about another landmark, the Conference House on Staten Island. It was given that name because the British wanted to end the Revolution with a few token gestures.
Memo to Tierney: read their historic plaque and see what happened.
Tierney is really talking about the Broadway Flushing/Auburndale area......the "privileged" community far to the east of the downtown dump!
