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

I.e. Storage space
No!!!!!
Why not 40 stories?
What a shame, I have walked by the nice house with great yard, now property for a one family house will turn into numerous people and I am sure this place will not have parking, or maybe I am wrong, it most definitely should.
Enough with the constant overcrowding.
Just the beginning of more crap to come.
Happy Crappy New Year !
Interesting read:

I thought this was Flushing at first. Whew.
Jamaica is already lost.
:(
So truly sad that this species is a sick virus. Proof positive by this rendering,...
brought on by liberal progressives...who call it.....
PROGRESS !!!!!!
How tasteful. How in context with the history and architecture of the surrounding community.
What the hell?
Does the zoning in Jamaica Estates allow for this type of structure? Were the developers granted a variance? Was there a unified effort to prevent this over-development? Is this what unscrupulous developers want for the entire borough? With all the areas within the borough that need improved development, why must a beautiful neighborhood that doesn't need improvement be sacrificed? I don't get it....
To all those who think NYC does not have history here is the answer.. If one computes how many houses, buildings, churches and so on were destroyed within the last 40 years, he begins to understand that the history of NYC was wiped out with the joined effort of corporations and the state and above all of greed, ignorance and luck of imagination. NYC is the only major city in the entire Western Hemisphere to have practiced the same architectural genocide we have seen in the Communist Countries (although even those are better preserved, especially now). A functionalist monstrosity in the rise..
@Joe Moretti. Read the link, it has 68 apartments, average 800 square feet each, 47 parking spots. Some of the parking may be for the walk in health care facility. It's right by a subway station.
http://queens.brownstoner.com/2014/03/12000-square-foot-lot-with-one-family-home-sells-in-jamaica-estates/
"The 12,000-square-foot property at 177-30 Wexford Terrace...120 x 100 corner lot, R7A zoning, 60,250 SF buildable (48,000 SF as-of-right + 12,250 SF air rights from adjacent lot)"
68 apartments. 47 parking spaces. Probably 100 actual tenant cars or more. Plus visitors. Plus traffic for the "healthcare facility." "Modern but staid." Gray, charcoal, and that godawful blue that somebody must think looks inviting on a residence.
I find nothing wrong with the building at all, I personally think it is nice, the problem is the block and neighborhood it is in, it completely destroys that block and that community. This would have been much better off somewhere in Jamaica or on Hillside Avenue, which certainly needs sprucing up. Not on a residential block of single family homes.
Gotta warehouse some new arrivals. People storage at its best.
