Giant hotel coming to LIC
From the Queens Gazette:
The owner of two lots located at 38-22/38-26 11th Street in Long Island City has filed plans to develop a hotel a the site.
The two properties feature a combined 48,640-square-feet of commercial space for the hotel – 85 rooms that feature direct access to the hotel lobby, reception and business center.
The plans also call for seven parking spaces in an area filled with hotels, near the 21st Street/Queensbridge “F” subway station and the Queens Plaza transportation hub.

Hotel? You mean homeless shelter.
Exactly.
What tourist would want to stay in LIC? That's right. Hotel-->homeless shelter in jig time. Think about it. So the savvy person who has kept up with De ASSio shenanigans will instantly recognize what will happen to that "hotel". Thank you 86% of voters who sat home on their asses instead of kicking this bum out.
Now now be nice.
That community, under the guise of Jimmy Van Bramer's friend, George Stamatidaisies, who runs the Dutch Kills Civic Association, which, as you can imagine, is well funded for community amenities (although the community, at this point, is vestigial at best - but look at it this way, money ear-marked for communities can be applied to those who really need it as developers and hotels and, yes, homeless shelters!)
Did I confess that George was a disgraced former Community Board 1 (Queens) and Queens Library trustee who was 'eased' off each body? But, fear not, in good Astoria politics, his honcho is now THE CHAIR OF COMMUNITY BOARD 1!!!! A most articulate and intelligent person too!
Lic should be given honorary status as part of Brooklyn or Manhattan, since that's what it is practically....partition it with favorable zoning density for greedy developers in exchange for preserving downzoned status for everything East and North of it.
7 WHOLE PARKING SPACES???? That's crazy. Homeless people don't have cars.

That could be so luck for them for that to happen. The people in Manhattan and Brooklyn have done a fantastic job of fighting developers - and don't predicate their lives around having a pol pat them on the head like in Queens.
LIC would be soooo much better off if that happened.
Tired of this bullshit
Who is the owner?
Who is the developer?
