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

The landmarks commission doesn't do anything or landmark anything in queens to begin with. What can they de landmark?
The boy mayor needs the real estate developers support for his political quests.
Goodbye landmarks and hello Fedders multi-family dumps.
Oh well, may as well get rid of the LPC completely, right? Save taxpayers money? I'm sure that's the next move. Or they can just de-fund them, sort of like the feds and the EPA.
I hate these no good stupid politicians and the stupid mentality in NYC. So many cities have amazing planning and regard for architecture. But NYC is a hot mess.
I just called and emailed, hopefully NYC residents will as well!
When are you all gonna get the message? NYC is run by the real estate industry not the preservationists.
Sorry Guys, but this is something of the preservation community's doing.
They could have built coalitions around the city after those numb-skulls in Steinway fought to remove their community from the roles.
They should have tried an aggressive public education program not unlike the real estate industry's efforts to get the hipster kids to live and play on the toxic brownfields and open sewer known as the NYC waterfront.
Instead, with a smirk, their policy to 90% of the city was to throw us under the bus by telling us to talk to our councilman.
Sure for a number of years they got his votes for their projects while all conspired to keep us out of the game. But they must have known that when you cut a deal like that with those people, sooner or later the jig would be up.
This is probably a false alarm. But it is almost certainly in the city's future, and will have to be a painful experience that will be endured for the preservation community to reinvent itself.
