With each passing day, this is becoming more clear. Someone I know from Borough Hall broke this down for me yesterday:
Congress Member Joe Crowley is the head of the Queens Machine. A political kingmaker. He endorsed Christine Quinn when she ran for mayor against de Blasio in the primary. De Blasio was very unhappy with that, as Queens was the only borough that did not back him. Queens therefore is going to relentlessly be dumped on, including the placement of 10+ homeless shelters in 2 years.
It all makes sense once you connect the dots.
Now, where the hell is Queens Borough President Melinda Katz while the borough she represents is getting dumped on? Painting the NYS Pavilion?

Sooo... think about that. Is this happening so that we will dump DeBlasio and elect Christine Quinn? Her name has been raised as a DeBlasio opponent.
Queens gets screwed, but Quinn who lost the election is now a winner. She's raking in the dough as the head of a (wait for it) 'non profit' that provides homeless services. You can't make this shit up.
Why would he care? he lives in Virginia!
This is complete bullshit! Bronx and Staten island didn't support him as well. They also fought him during his 'appointment' of Viverito for speaker. He has recently tried to make amends with Queens because he is in for a dogfight next election.
Makes no sense. Would make sense next term, not now.
Funny how whenever Queens gets fucked over, the name Crowley gets mentioned.
Any homeless from Virginia coming here, Joey?
It was really nauseating to read that link that was the origin of the unethical, immoral and criminal machinations that led to this dumping of destitute people in the World's Borough or is it the World's Shelter now.
Speaking of which, it's time to look at that issue of lonely planet again. Who were the authors and editors of that bogus feature issue and did it lead to mass influx of out of place hotel development everywhere in Queens.
We are getting this because of the apathetic Queens electorate that accepts the diversity etc crap that is fed us.
All boroughs are diverse, but everyone except for Queens plays more than a one trick pony.
We passively accept bullshit in this borough from the press and the electeds. They treat us like stupid children.
maybe uncle Joe is just sticking it to Dizzy Lizzy for the congressional primary she was told to stay out of
he wouldn't endorse her
that says a lot
So I guess we can assume that empty hotel across from Borough Hall in Kew Gardens will become a shelter.

We are getting this because our local representatives are too lazy to actually represent us!
Well he can sing or play the guitar well enough so he gas to make a free living somehow.

WRONG! WE ARE GETTING THIS BECAUSE WE ARE TOO LAZY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM!
would be nice if Crowley hired English speaking staffers. He refuses to hire Irish Americans at any of his offices. No Irish Need Apply, Joe?
Nonsense! De Blasio bought off the City Council members in Queens when they got that ridiculous raise. Now they're starting to realize that it is their constituents who elected them, not Mayor De Blasio. De Blasio has to go!
ATTEND YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY VOTE!!
I took the LIRR through Corona yesterday.
The construction is slum quality, pile-O-bricks, rusted railing, exposed plumbing and electrical, DircetTV dish hanging, bars-across-the-windows, garbage.
Our neighborhoods are being ANNIHILATED, while the machine sits back and waits for crumbs. They behave like the rats that infest every Flushing household once it is sold to Chinese developer.
IT IS TIME FOR NEW LEADERSHIP EVERYWHERE- COUNCIL, STATE, MAYOR, ETC. DIBLASIO AND ALL INCUMBENTS NEED TO BE VOTED OUT AT NEXT ELECTION. TOO MANY DEALS. ONE TERM MAYOR EVERYONE PLEASE!
Queens has been dumped on for decades - this has nothing to do with DeBlaz and everything to do with our electeds and our relationship with them and how they take advantage of us.

You were doing fine until you wrote this ... hack.
Christine Quinn is just as intensely incompetent (and lethally dangersous), as both Crowley and de Blasio combined---and, maybe even more!
This voracious thief stole our elections in 2009, after she bartered her soul for a private deal made in a closed door meeting with her then demigod, Michael Bloomberg, who abrogated all public referendum laws (twice!), that called for term limits, and then quickly green-lighted Bloomberg to serve his illegal third term, in exchange for passing the mayoral scepter to Czarina Quinn herself---and, we all know how THAT backfired with a karmic vengeance!
Now, if this pudgy, squat shithead was able to break the law as a worthless city council speaker in 2009, for personal gain, power and enrichment (the position of council speaker itself is pure, vacuous patronage), then imagine how ruthless and backstabbing this liar-traitor would be like if she were installed back at City Hall (again!), but in a higher position! Also, she ignored public hearings that objected to Quinn's own self-imposed (and the entire city council's), massive pay bump.
❝Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.❞ ---Voltaire
Queens voters must remember our terrible treatment when DeBlasio is up for reelection.
Ah, yes, Empress Christine Quinn and her solid record of honest, ethical, not for sale leadership (that leads by example)!
And, here is the funny part (if one can see anything even remotely funny about her openly practiced corruption, graft and endless greed, that is): Shortly after losing the mayoral election, she had to enroll herself into a course study program at Harvard in order to learn about ethics and integrity---something, ironically that practically everyone else in the rank and file were already taught since kindergarten!
Mayor of NYC, Christine? I love a good joke! Kindly park your pudgy, squat little asshole on the doors of your predatory developer pals---you know, the same one's who obliterated the 150-plus year, St. Vincent's Hospital in the heart of the West Village, when you stood passively by (with both filthy hands extended), and collected your fat donations, as history was destroyed---thankfully along with your faux, mayoral aspirations!
Now, the entire West Village looks as blighted as it does wounded by man and his incurative greed---the most dangerous animal of them all!
>You were doing fine until you wrote this ... hack.
Sometimes I wonder if the people who write reasonable stuff and then throw in racist slurs at the end are deliberate shills, trying to make everyone who objects to bad construction look racist by association.
The media has certainly proven willing to judge entire groups based on the actions of a handful of trolls claiming to be part of those groups.
Of course!
"Virginny" Joe Crowley does not live here.
"Carry me back to old Virginny".
The Bland Houses in Flushing were named after James Bland who wrote that ditty.
A shred of info I got while serving as a board member of the anemic Queens Historical Society.
for the "BIG PICTURE" and who is raking in the "FORCED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION "$$$
see:cis.org/visa waiver program,scroll to" DHS reports huge number of visitors overstayed in 2015",by Jessica Vaughn,Jan.2016 . also" More nonsense about aliens' faux "privacy rights".Dan Cadman.
our local U.S.reps. are supporting the overpopulation of multi-culturist ,diverse Queens County. and we will pay for it.
Multi cultural and diverse. Two code words for "whites not allowed " and "we hate whites". It's the truth . That's why Queens and our entire country is being sold down the river . Just look at how many whites have fled NYC in the last 25 years. Politicians pander for non white votes just to keep their dirty jobs. Plain and simple.
"Virginny" Joe Crowley does not live here, but he gets elected all the time, usually garnering about 73% of the vote -- WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't have anything to do with the fact that queens has space and we live in NYC with a ton of homeless. DHS polices need to be changed ! No one is fighting how DHS accepts people into a shelter and what needs to be done to stay there and if they are even from NY? Its a shame instead of using this platform to move forward and get things done its used to attack b/c clearly this site doesn't support any political democrats!
We support Tony Avella.
The former president, Debbie Dennis, received no salary and the former CEO, Jennifer Ware received about $190,816 in 2014. Anyone care to bet Quinn's salary is North of $190K?
come on people, move it to Dutch Kills in Community Board 1. No one will say a thing.

First there is no attacking of democrats, just criticism of the many do-nothings, crooks and cheats in NYC politics, which happen to be majority Democrats and the majority are totally useless crooks only wanting to fill their greedy pockets and not serve the communities they were elected to do. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the shit-hole third world borough known as Queens.

THANKS HACK. HOW MUCH DOES HONEST JOE CROWLEY PAY YOU TO WRITE THIS. BTW, HOW WHITE IS HIS COMMUNITY OF RESIDENCE?
Whey the caps above? afraid of the truth?
Your right,I left NY 14 years ago,only uneducated whites with no hope or savings are left.
>Whey the caps above? afraid of the truth?
Google "tone policing", shill.
Please join sept 13 at villa russo at 7:45 to protest the opening of a homeless shelter in ozone park. This shelter will be 1 block from a high school and two blocks from an elementary school.
