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

That is because the media does not take Queens seriously.
Look at the caliber of reporting down in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Now look at Queens. If its not lauding an immigrant, its stupid. Hell, the reporters don't even live here.
Considering how the typical Queens resident is a doormat when it comes to their officals, the news outlets don't want to waste their time.
Remember when you try to teach the pig how to sing, all you end up doing is annoying the pig.
Even local Queens newspapers don't take Queens seriously!
A month ago, the Chronicle had ads for local freelance writers. I called them, and the editor asked me if I was an experienced writer. If I wasn't one, I wouldn't have called them!
I graduated college, wrote an article on Horse Brook, and designed a website... but apparently, that's not enough for the Chronicle.
If the NY Times acts elitist, it's expected, but I never expected such treatment from a local paper.
You could count the number of half decent Queens based journalists on one hand.
Did anyone notice how important this bill is? It's as important as the Lead Paint Bill. These are bills for you, not for developers or real estate.
But of course it's only your life expectensity.
I once called a local paper when I was in college, majoring in journalism, and looking for a part-time job. Already I was a better proofreader than whoever they had. And, well, already my skills were worth more than minimum wage so I found a job elsewhere.
And, Anonymous #1 is right--Queens is not taken seriously, by reporters or residents! They NEVER get the locations correct, let alone the facts.
