It is so funny when I read the other day, that Jamaica is going to be one of five new "hot" areas come 2015. Funny, because the below quality of life issues that plague this community continue over and over again and Jamaica certainly does not look like the next "hot" neighborhood, especially with the large majority of slobs, bottom of the barrel folks, slumlords, a poor excuse of elected officials and a lack of enforcement on many issues.
Plus, no matter what city agency you talk to the same thing "not enough man-power". This excuse has gotten so fucking old and if NYC was a business, it would have been shut down decades ago. How about enough with the fucking excuses and just enforce the fucking laws on the books. How can you keep cramming more and more people into this city if you 1) do not have the infrastructure to handle it and 2) you say you don't have the 'man power".

I can't wait for news to break that BP actually paid off Lonely Planet for this absurd ranking of Queens. Something is VERY FISHY about this whole thing.
I agree with anon #1. I can picture Katz pushing Lonely Planet to make Queens tops in the US. She could have used some of her marketing budget to pay for it too. This is so laughable. I never even heard of Lonely Planet until now!
It's a maneuver to raise real estate prices... follow the money. Who owns what, and who pays into what.
Hot! Hot! Hot! NOT!!!!
Articles like the LP one are shill pieces that only serve to chum the waters for developers.
Gotta get the hype train going to first before the steam rollers move in.
The next hot neighborhood is Ridgewood, Queens.
No Ridgewood already is hot. Jamaica is "the next hot". You gotta be down with real estate B.S.
Hey, what about Maspeth (Trashpeth)?
Welcome to Jamaica: Enjoy our $45 walk in motels; bodegas; pawn shops; fried chicken joints; trash-filled streets and sidewalks; smelly subways; homeless wandering drunkards; abandoned homes; graffiti; cheap stores; storefront churches; there's more but I have to catch my train back to Manhattan.
Why do people dwell over this slum when they would be better off moving to Cuba ?
The city will NEVER clean this up and dare "dispatch" all those slobs like a virus.

Hey, not for nothing, but the one edition of a Lonely Planet guide I do recall seeing was a guide to the Philippines.Need I say more?
Bed Stuy. looked like that BEFORE gentrification.
Higher Prices = More Hipsters
There needs to be further digging into that homely planet pdf,also in the ny daily news,ny post,ny times and all the local news stations and major local affiliates.They are all complicit in the hypergentrification of nyc,there has to be some criminal element in all this vertical integration.But has citizen united and the supreme 5 told us,this is freedom of speech.
but speech is money that's physically there,and this is just to make money so does it count?
I think with all that junk that pops up in Jamaica day in and day out is almost like the graffiti that used to appear on the trains.Maybe some creative type or city planner can spin this like these pigs are some art collective and these are just streetscapes and sculptures.that'll get the tourists and hipsters(there's the "manpower" they desire)flocking over here and then the quirky restaraunts and cafes will come,field of dreams style
this is not going to stop apparently,the trash and the marketing.although the two aren't mutually exclusive...
