Scary thought of the day

From the Queens Tribune:

"I tell my friends if you want to see the future, come to Flushing. Flushing is what America is and will be, and it’s a great thing."

, “It also seems as though greater Flushing’s population is becoming more gentrified, as our constituency is now becoming more ethnically diverse.” Council Member Koo added, “I would like to see the gentrification of Flushing continue as it is important for the development of a diverse community as well as for tourism.”

'The budget could be monetized by selling valuable air rights to developers which [theoretically] could be created out of thin air,” said former City Comptroller John Liu.

These people are mentally ill.

The grossest thing in that photo is that there is a food truck there. Now that's al fresco flushing style!

Anyone wanna wager on the comments total for this? I got the over under at 40/50.

How about getting rid of some parking spots and putting in some kind of dumpster for apartment supers to load the trash into on trash day instead of leaving it on the sidewalk like that?

What do the 2 Chambers of Commerce and the Flushing BID have to say about this? What do they do anyway? Other than pay phony do nothing political advocates?

Well trash brings in trash. Nothing new there.

We send our jobs to China making Americans poor, then the Chinese take the money to buy up American real estate to bring over their communities to create Chinese settlements in American cities all the while paying off our in-over-their-head political hacks that only seem to know how to crush dissent of those that point this out thus servicing the needs of their Chinese paymasters.

It's not just apartment buildings, and it's not just Flushing. Take a look at the crap that gets piled up outside any public school building in the city - and private schools are not that much better. Holy Cross HS in North Flushing usually has Mount Crapmore on the sidewalk - and then the garbage pickers come looking for things to "salvage"...

Bullshit. Everyone knows Flushing is 95% Asian. That's not gentrification. That's pandering to one group, and continuing to. Having Chinese and Koreans mix isn't gentrification. It isn't diverse either. If one sees nothing but Asian dollar stores, Asian eateries, Asian this and that, it isn't diverse. Koo really has his eyes closed to what is around him.

There isn't much to come to Flushing for. Its overcrowded, it stinks, its oddly overpriced, and at times a hell to get to, be around, live in, or get out of.

Fine. Then how about get rid of some parking spaces in front of every building that doesn't have a dumpster setup already to put the trash on trash day instead of loading it onto the sidewalk?

So long as the TNNIS flight route exists, Flushing will never truly gentrify. SkyVieParc residents (many of whom bought a condo just prior to TNNIS implementation) are going apeshit over it. That was supposed to be the crown jewel of Flushing gentrification.

It's amazing how REBNY viciously promotes their agenda after the defeat of Flushing West. It's almost like they took it personally, and are now going to show everyone who's boss.

all the recycling nonsense don't help either

Ah Falasheng where the stench is always the same!

There's not enough parking in Flushing as it is, and now some genius is calling for even less parking? Cause dumpsters aren't an eyesore, right?

Parking? How about driving around first. Is practically impossible. Northern, College Point, Parsons Blvds are parking lots as it is. Now the congestion is spreading north with more and more apartment buildings, illegal businesses, hotels, churches, pagodas, gambling you name it we have have it.
Too bad most of us are not politicians and we cannot put up speed bumps on our streets so the drivers can avoid the area.
According to the politicos if you'd like to build a bread an breakfast size
"ONE family" house that's OK.
Screw the infrastructure and collect the ever increasing property taxes.
Most countries, cities are trying to clean up their slums and here we are building one!

AMERICANS have been betrayed by our own countrymen who pander to special interests just to line their own pockets. Our once beautiful neighborhoods in the outer boroughs now resemble ill-used toilets. I bet we will NEVER see these politicians who are responsible for this destruction living any where near downtown Flushing or Jackson Heights, etc.

AMERICANS, let not acquiesce to the rape of OUR country. Vote for TRUMP
