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

Well, if this is in HDC's neighborhood, they should be abel to do a lot for mine....
It's up there with the worst, but in Old Astoria we have housing built over St. George's cemetery. I'm sure the descendants of the deceased are not happy about it.
Just like the New York State Dormitory Authority's idea of "preserving" the OFFICIALLY LANDMARKED St. Monica's Church in Jamaica!
Maybe you can bring up the subject at one of HDC's (hee, hee, hee)
"coffee talks"!
