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

This always happens when they start to lose control.
Be careful, the next page in their playbook is to select their clique in the community to be loyal backdrop for press conferences and stooges to put the elected's spin into the community.
As a matter of fact, their staffers are right now trying to assemble that group.
Then the politician will call a press conference.
At that event they will make PROMISES to SUBMIT LEGISLATION to remedy the issue hoping that the public will put words and action that don't exit.
Even worse, their little choir will echo those comments as the dissenters are starting to be marginalized in the popular press.
The takeaway by the public from this staged event is that your rep is finally taking steps to solve the problem when, in reality, all they are doing is clawing back the podium.
This is so ridiculous. Yet everytime I turn around they are building new "hotels". Why not just call them homeless shelters to begun with? Oh that's right because they would have more protestors.....got it now. They have to disguise the words "homeless shelter" with "hotel".
Elected politicians in Queens don't give a F*** about their constituents! They are there only to get a paycheck for screwing the public. Remember them on election day.
check out the flag of New York soaring majestically in the first video.
When was that stupidly placed hotel built? And before it inevitably became a warehouse mixed shelter for the poor, mentally ill and criminal, was the intention to have business conventions there or for tourists to dwell in the world's borough for a bit.
I have never seen such an ill-advised area for a hotel.
Good luck getting the 32% councilpeople coming to aid them.
On friday, Mayor Big Slow surfaced to warn the city of the suppressing heat if you all want to know what he's been more concerned with. That and Preet lurking up his and his city agents asses.
When I speak to people about serious issues and the lack of action or or action in direct opposition to a particular issue and recommend voting them out, I always get the same response, but they are "nice"' I like them.
It has been said that you cannot fix "stupid".
They will ALL be re-elected!!!
The city is not allowed to build new shelters right now, that's why the hotel scheme is going on. This rally is stupid though. Really ask yourself: what did deBlasio have to lose by targeting Maspeth? That area generally does not like him, and probably would not have voted for him in 2017 anyway. It's the swing neighborhoods that support politicians on their immediate practical interests who get lip service from politicians, not the ideological purists who reliably love or loathe the party or its abstract platform that they fear losing or seek to curry favor with by being responsive.
DeBlasio won Maspeth last time.
You'd better recheck that, Crappy: http://www.nytimes.com/projects/elections/2013/general/nyc-mayor/map.html
The Holiday Inn shelter is squarely in a red pocket.
He hates Queens Dem's and Joe Crowley for not backing him! He won Maspeth and practically all of Queens because of who he ran against.
"The Holiday Inn shelter is squarely in a red pocket."
And that red pocket has hardly any people in it and all of Maspeth is not in that red pocket nor is it red.
BLAST THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA !! PROTEST IN FRONT OF THEIR DISTRICT OFFICES !!
Good for you Maspeth. A role model for the rest of the City.
When was that stupidly placed hotel built? And before it inevitably became a warehouse mixed shelter for the poor, mentally ill and criminal, was the intention to have business conventions there or for tourists to dwell in the world's borough for a bit.
I LOVE this hotel. Whenever we're in NY we stay there- it's convenient to friends and attractions in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and an easy expressway drive to LI, Westchester etc. Reasonably priced too, compared to LIC or Manhattan. I wish all of you much success in your fight against these crooks!! from a NY native now living in AZ who visits regularly.
Demonstrations are good but real civil disobedience is better. Demonstrations are just ignored by our elected representatives and the lazy, paid off media. If there is a media story we will be portrayed as racist trash who are screaming Not In My Backyard (the 'progressives' love to use that). Not one journalist will do the work to connect the non profit contract recipients with their friends and family in the City gov't. who award these no bid contracts. Most of us in the shelter fight were raised to obey the law but since citizen rights and the truth about these sweetheart deals are being ignored I think it is time to get in there faces. Didn't someone mention stopping traffic on the LIE? I think the time has come.
De Blasio must go? Indeed!
But , for sure, some REBNY stooge will replace him.
NYC's money comes from real estate and tourism. WTF do we manufacture?
Zilch! Get used to increased taxes and overbuilding.
Rules and laws that have been passed to limit it can be amended or repealed and replaced.
The city council is crawling with REBNY council member stooges.
What a beautiful facility built by Holiday Inn. State of the art everything. The savages who move in will turn it into a trash heap in no time. I feel very sorry for that recently rebuilt McDonalds next door. Hang outs. Food theft. Fights. Shootings. Car break-ins. Pandering. You name it..
>Demonstrations are good but real civil disobedience is better.
>Didn't someone mention stopping traffic on the LIE? I think the time has come.
That's the wrong type of civil disobedience. Protest outside your Council Member's office or City Hall; block the doors at the office of the developer or the landlord.
But blocking traffic on a highway is basically collective punishment and a good way to get people who would otherwise side with you to hate you. Witness how universally despised BLM has become outside the mainstream media blindly supporting them, despite how real a problem police brutality is.
"Protest outside your Council Member's office or City Hall".. Our Councilwoman can't even find her office.
3rd day this week of protests and not one elected official showed. HEY MASPETH REMEMBER THIS ON ELECTION DAY!!!!
