One lucky apartment resident will get a car AND a bike spot! Wowowowow!
And NYC will let it go through. Very sad...
And NYC will allow it. So sad...
How dare you greedy-developer shame this human being.
Shame on you
Wow if they did not learn from this pandemic that squeezing in so many people really hurts the community. Such a dense over crowded place is a sure breeding ground for it. Look around at other communities in Elmhurst, Corona etc.
Besides it taxes the already taxed water system, electrical grid and with all that cement and no green spaces where does all that water go?
Unsurprising. This is really more properly Jamaica than Kew, just to quibble over neighborhood boundaries. Main thoroughfares can and should be upscaled. Been saying it on this blog for years: only way to "take the pressure" off of side streets. While that section of the avenue is low rise on one side, spin the camera around and you'll see Jamaica hospital down the way and that the commercial corridor of Hillside is also right there (parallel). This is like Mary Sendak and the Macy's mall out by me on Qns Blvd. Or, even more congruently, that little cluster of single family homes along Metropolitan across from the Wendy's where it meets Woodhaven (around the corner from the all in the family house): one day it will simply make economic sense to have some four or five story buildings there, unless demand abates drastically. Enjoy the nabes while they are as you like em, but don't hand wring too much- it's needless grief.
But-but-but- HOUSING CRISIS!!!!! Please let this go through to solve our city's tragic housing crisis!!!!!
Keep on going mayor dumbdumb. The pandemic obviously has taught these idiot politicians nothing at all! People living on top of each other is NOT a good thing! This is why zoning laws were made and should be followed!
Got to build in time to catch the vacant luxury condo trend
No, NYC does not let it go through - you do!
People in Queens are too damn polite. All politics are local. Set up blogs, go to community board meetings, show up when any politician speaks. Challenge them to do something. They do not call them public SERVANTS without a reason.
You do not need violence like those nutcases in the West Coast, but they give you a road map on how to short circuit these bozos.
Do it! Act up! Make yourself heard! Name names in front of the media! shhsssh people. And remember that they will always sow distrust within your ranks by trying to split your coalition and its members.
And the studios and one-bedroom apartments with started 1700 to $2,000 and eblasio will claim that's his contribution to Affordable houseing. affordable for who
The solution to the problem is easy: Don't vote Democrat.
New York Democrat leaders really are as lawless as the Rioters, they have no shame.
DOJ indictments of many Democrats are coming soon and they are pushing civil war to stop it. It's plain to see.
This is really disheartening. You would think that a pandemic would slow down development but the BOD, NYC Council, REBNY, developers, are all so greedy. We need to stop the destruction of quality of life.
Just keep ruining the Queens neighborhoods with all these tall buildings. Keep stressing out the electrical grids, the sewer systems and water supplies to the Queens areas. Keep clogging up the streets with parked cars for all these apartments. Make this a haven for overcrowding so we can suffer another pandemic like Corona, Elmhurst and Jackson heights did this past year . All because of OVER CROWDING OVER POPULATING. GREEDY LANDOWNERS!
