Parking conundrum in Flushing
From the Queens Courier:
Pushing a cart with homemade plywood signs, Flushing resident Carmen Mosca recently staged a rally to protest what she claimed to be unfair wrong-way tickets at Beech Street and Syringa Street.
Beech and Syringa are both one-way streets, and they intersect in a rounded, continuous curve with no clear sign as to where one ends and the other begins.
People of the neighborhood have been repeatedly receiving tickets for parking their cars facing the wrong direction, while traffic signs have either been misleading or non-existent, said Mosca.
Pedestrians and motorists were eager to sign her petition to remedy this problem, and she collected 96 signatures a week before her protest.
A no-parking sign previously designated the exact intersection, but it was incorrect, she noted. She recounted one incident where two cars parked right next to each other, facing opposite directions, have both received wrong way tickets.
Recent construction had knocked down the sign completely, and now, there is no point of reference at all.

I'll bet a lot of Asians get out of paying these wrong way tickets.
Notice that the folks pictured here are "people of color".
They don't get the same treatment as the Chinese do in this anti "Black" bigoted town.
The plan for Flushing has been, for the past 20+ years, to replace Latinos and Blacks with more Taiwanese/Chinese.
In other words...better "yellow" than "black" in order to pump up the value of properties long held by the old timers.
i.e.
Perhaps like Schwartz and Mehran?
A democratic machine Assemblyman once said,
"Thank God for the Asians. We don't want Flushing to become a south Jamaica or south Bronx".
So there you have it.
Continue to harass the "dark" folk at every turn, until they finally through in the towel and leave.
This is all part of that old plan....which the "town fathers" and the community board have covertly signed on to.
Seems pretty simple to me. Here's a map of the intersection:

On the western corner, no one should be parked in the curb cut - pretty much between those two trees/bushes/patches of green. The maroon car should be ticketed on that alone. North of that the cars should be parked facing NW, and west of it they should be parked facing SW. The red car on the other side of the street looks to be parked in the curb cut as well.
Hmmm, streetview shows lots of crapitecture in the area, with fantastic, attractive paved-over front yards.
Who would have ever thought that putting apartment buildings on single-family home lots would create parking issues!?!?!?!
Check out the balcony to the left of the black person's head. Why can't builders at least use materials that do not rust?

Yes , there is much to say as to how Flushing (my hometown) was sold out it wasnt entirely by the "Schwart". It was the "Schwartz" politicians at the time and of course "$" talks. The start of "the Meng" dynasty "Jimmy Meng" that is LOL..and ending right now with Peter Koo. I thought you had to be a naturalized American to be in office in America? This man hardly speaks english, I know nothing of who, what, what his trying to do, for us?

@Carmen If you ever need me ;-) I'm the only house on Bowne with the Big American Flag flying ;-) America needs people like you ;-) Your a Warrior and I'm so Proust of you for having the Courage to take a stand ;-)
Thank You, Cherokeesista. Its very conforting to me your help offer.. You know, at some point in life you reach that certain point when you have been pushed too close to the edge. But let us not forget to keep our "kool" and still accomplish what we set out to do with dignity and respect for ourselves and others. We must follow and obey man-made laws as well as Gods Laws to Love thy neighbor. I am very proud that you fly The American Flag.I live in a building but prouldly displayed my American Flag 365 days of the year even though the Law says you can't. I don't get that?! Iwrite poetry and I wrote a poem to my flag after I had to retire it due to being torn and old. I will post my poem following this message..
Cherokeesista, here is my poem to my retired Flag...
OATH TO MY FLAG
AS I LOOK AT YOU,SPREAD UPON MY BED, WELLS IN MY EYES FILL WITH MEMORIES OF YOU..
WHEN YOU WERE FIRST HUNG FOR EVERONE TO SEE, YOU WERE SUCH A SHOW-OFF!
WAIVING OH SO PROUDLY, SPECIALLY LOVING THAT WESTERN WIND!
WAIVING, FIRM AND ERECT, ALMOST DEMANDING A HOLT AND SALUTE!
EVERYONE SAW YOUR BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF RED, WHITE AND BLUE..
EVEN WHEN THE SNOW DRAGED YOU DOWN.., YOU DRIED AND PICKED YOURSELF UP.
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR EVERYONE, AND I, WAS THERE FOR YOU TO UNRAVEL YOUR TANGLED WEB..
THE YEARS PASSED AND I WATCHED YOU AGE,
YOUR COLORS FADED BUT YOU STILL WAIVED..NATURE PONDERED ON YOU
UNTIL ONLY RAGS REMAINED...
I IGNORED THE LAWS OF TIMELY DISPLAY...YOU
ARE AS BEAUTIFUL TO ME AS THE FIRST DAY,
YOU..AND YOUR RAGGED ENDS!
NOW I MUST RETIRE YOU,
I HAVE FOUND SOMEONE NEW.
MY NEW FLAG IS VIBRANT, OH!..THOSE RED, WHITE AND BLUES..
IT WIL WAIVE FIRM AND ERECT AS DID YOU..
THOSE STARS WILL SHINE PROUDLY AS THEY REPLACE YOU
AND I..
WILL FOREVER LOVE IT AS I LOVED YOU.
