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

Why not?
First close some firehouses.
Then if you can't burn residents out
of their neighborhood that's been slated
for over development, close the schools .
This way the clubhouse can keep 'em dumb,
easily tweeded and perpetually grateful
for the crumbs that political scum
like the Crowleys, Staviskys, Lius, Gallaghers, etc. throw to their constituents.
These are just some of the techniques
that are being used to hollow out neighborhoods
that are being prepared for the hipster/yuppie invasion.
Say hello astronomical rent roles
for Mr. & Mrs. Landlord!
Funny, the Borough President's State of the Boro talked a lot about development.
Did anyone see anything about schools being overcrowded?
Isn't she a teacher? Perhaps someone can ask her about the emphasis (considering what a plague developers are, kind of seems odd she would praise them) and the seeming lack of concern she has for the plight of children
in Queens.
Please ask her and let us know her response.
Hell, how about a few letters to the editors on this one.
Those damn papers are still singing the praises of developers left and right and damn little about this.
How is it that the health of Queens depends on more development, or so boasts a recent headline?
How about the health of its kids?
Yet another example of the decling quality of life in Queens, and the hollowing out of our communties.
We must move from the sinking ship and make room for the tweeded.
Manhattan wants it. Our political leadership in Queens wants it. The campaign donors in the R E industry wants it.
What is our choice?
Its funny about hollowing out our community. The people on the street looking more and more downscale each year.
In Astoria the only people you see in a suit these days are real estate brokers or the like.
Picking though the turkey frame looking for snippets of meat.

I am appalled at the apparent lack of interest in this scandalous problem.
It just is another example of the elitism of our political leadership.
They may talk divesity, but only to troll for votes.
Or to cater to the building lobby by intoning crap about 'Affordable Housing,' a heavily loaded phrase that has yet to be defined.
This would make a home run if taken up by the preservation community, too.
There are so many problems with adding much more to the city's infrastucture.
Instead they hold conferneces on how to deal with the 'inevitable' increases discussed in NYC2030 (perfectly acceptable if your area has been frozen in time by LPC designation)
