I can recall when Dutch Kills rose in revolt to all the changes to their community - Baloney Maloney showed up to talk about how wonderful the rail tunnel which was hacked through their community and everyone chanted 'Manhattan gets a tunnel and we get the shaft.'

Local honcho for Dutch Kills Civic, which got funding ostensibly targeted for residents instead was diverted to planting trees around hotels, stop signs for the sudden increase in traffic, and other projects that helped developers (who donated to local electeds as a thank you), all while the community got torn down and ignored. All run by disgraced former [name positions of public trust here] honcho did nothing for his neighbors who put their simple trust in him.

The locals, being just regular folks sputtered to extinction in their resistance. One leader would just rant, not discuss things alienating media, and angrily hang up the phone if someone had the temerity to ask a question, and others would offer prayers on their public blog. All classic western Queens community grassroots "activism."

Little wonder that people are getting elected like AOC who do squat for their community are now taking advantage of their locals' lack of comprehension and ignorance of an agenda that has no relevance for the people that put them in office and serves only the needs of their shadowy handlers in the background. They were targeted for districts just like this. Expect more. The days of homegrown padrones like Vallone are long gone.

All in all a tragic pathetic case study in an abject failure of a community whose only crime was being simple folk and a betrayal by its leadership who took advantage of converting a wonderful secret of cheap housing minutes from the city into a dystopia that will take decades to resolve when they get around to mercifully erasing it from the map.

I don't think New York stands a chance regardless of what the next mayor does!

I wonder how much of that has to do with the martial-law lockdowns, and how much to do with China cracking down on money escaping the country.

Supportive housing works real well IF.........

*The tenants are working full-time positions with the intent of moving into their own apartments;
*They keep the same schedules as their neighbors in nearby apartment buildings and houses;
*They don't spend all night in front of their building loudly socializing and not giving a hoot about their neighbors.

If you face the street and have supportive housing nearby.....oh boy, get ready for some sleepless nights while the city chooses to endlessly and pointedly ignore the problem.

Creative civil disobedience is definitely the order of the day to resolve the kinds of problems that can arise from these facilities.

Tell that to the criminally insane Commiecrats and their brain dead followers-they don't seem to get it.

@Anon re: Called off

Really? Wonder why?

Well, Adams did get heckled by bike zealots yesterday. He looked at them like they had worms coming out of their ears and eyes.

The First Poster distilled community preservation in Queens, and how the new wave is about as much help as the old boys. AOC and the Bike Nuts have done squat for the community and couldn't care less about the common people. We are just proles in their new revolution.

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday

Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Get ready for homeless Fresh Meadows with its three new hotels! One right on a residential block! Will the homeless accrue Wyndham points?

Interesting how no one commenting above gives a squat what happens to Dutch Kills with all this ... or how the remedy for the community to be saved (from yet another outrage) is for the public to come to their aid?

Who cares? They have bike racks so all is fine.

Besides, it's just a prole-filled spot on the map where the delights of latte are not discussed.
