What Elmhurst's main thoroughfare looks like these days


Don't think I need to write a lot about this because the photo says it all. The demo permit seems to be in limbo.

Yes, please clarify which third world country? They are all beginning to look alike, Pakistan, Bangladesh, United States, etc.

Fire trap 3rd world shit.
Is that the way Latin America lives?

I'm sure that DOB inspectors have been told to ignore this by Emperor Bloomberg's administration...or paid off by the local slobs to avoid taking action.

Mucho pesos line the pockets of these thieves!

That's sad to see. It demonstrates a lack of pride and ignorance amongst the new members of the community. Many need to get busy to begin to make inroads to turn the neighborhood back towards a better quality of life. Leaders need to teach the people to care about the neighborhood by cleaning it up. The DOB,the NYPD, comm. leaders;CB,110 comm. council & precinct & the elected officials. Quality of life....what happened??

What was once a beautiful neighborhood is now a shit hole. Welcome to vibrant and diverse.

What's wrong with it? It fits in perfectly with the third world vibe the politicians are just dying to give Queens.

The real problem is we are bringing in too many people from third world sh!t holes that cling to their old ways.

Slow down immigration till things get under control again.

But the dems want more of it as most of these 3rd worlders vote dem.

Disgusting when people put party ahead of country.

While parts of Elmhurst may look like a slum due to the recent arrivals from other slums, this particular property has a demo permit and the owner of said property has allowed it to fester in this condition. It's called "Failure to Maintain." Either fix it up or knock it down already.

The current residents of Elmhurst are not being assimilated. The neighborhood's appearance is being assimilated into a hybrid of a slum of Mexico City, Mumbai, and Shanghai. It's called "progress" and cannot be resisted.

Why is it these breeders cry poverty yet are always overweight and dont give a dam.
Beach balls with legs having no self control or pride whatsoever with offspring repeating the cycle every 15 or so years ?
This is much worse a disaster then it appears. A good 3/4 of these people are gonna end up with diabetes or heart disease totally over-running doctors and hospitals MUCH worse then things are now.
Where are all the doctors, money and hospitals going to come from ?
What next Bloomberg howling at the government to bring in 1 million cheap 3rd world med students ?

Taxpayers and hard working people who been here generations are going to really suffer "and die" when they grow old.
That or fly to Costa Rica or Germany to get good affordable dental & medical (like the Canadians and many people with now do).
WE ARE GONNA BE REALLY F_CKED !!!

Sadly, this is glimpse into the future of most Queens neighborhoods.

Sadly it's a glimpse of our country.

The morons in DC want to make citizens of illegal aliens.

That will add about 33 million new "Americans"

I see litter, trash receptacles filled with household trash, illegally parked gypsy cabs, bike riding on the sidewalk, babies in strollers most likely supported by our tax dollars.....a lovely , warm , law abiding community , that is Elmhurst.
Does anyone see anything else in the photo that I missed ,
Besides the overbuilt housing in the background?

I see graffiti and what's with that dentist office in the apartment house back there? Is that legit??
Who's in charge here???!!!

Queens Crapper said...

This is not only a commercial strip, but dental offices are considered a community facility which is allowed in residential zones. So it's perfectly legal. The graffiti is on the to-be-demolished building. Gypsy cabs are allowed to be parked on the street. The only one parked illegally is the one by the illegally on the sidewalk bicyclist.

Danny Dromm also wants illegals to have the vote.
He needs every Spanish vote he can get when he runs for (snicker, snicker) mayor.

The fact is that the rest of NYC is starting to move ahead and leave a past that looks like this, well, in the the past.

Except Queens.

The borough seems to be caught in a time warp - somewhere decades ago - and its spreading getting worse.

There are no good stories coming out of Queens - just a slowly unfolding disaster.

Joe said...

My friend Audrey and her sister live on that block for the past 40 years. She says illegal immigrants are living (camping) in trucks & vans (must be 100s)outside apt buildings blocking the streets and disregarding no parking hours. The sanitation sweepers cant pass. The gutters are littered with urine and feces and the city isn't doing one dam thing about it.
To add music plays all night long, fights, drunks, muggers, prostitution --including male tranny hookers, drug dealing, unsupervised young children everywhere.

Its as if it doesn't even exist as far as the city, code enforcement and cops are concerned. Its become a real health hazard and emergency.

I love Elmhurst. Such diversity. Blame our politicians for screwing all of Queens County! They have sold it down the river just for some cheap votes....

"Is that the way Latin America lives?"

Worse then that below the border and above Brazil(unless your a politician or drug dealer) Most American's and college kids hit the beach and tourist areas and dont have a clue how bad it is.

For the past 10+ years parts of S California like LA, San Pedro, Long Beach, parts of Anahiem there are slums with 1canals of raw sewage dug behind the yards. These canals go for BLOCKS !! All the cesspools and most of the city sewage system's have failed do to all the waste and garbage flushed down the drains, toilets and street basins.
I a New Yorker was shocked driving through Anaheim at last years trade show. Parts of it span for MILES looking like a 3rd word battle zone for WORSE the Elmhurst or any part of Queens.
AND THAT'S COMING HERE NEXT unless the flush chain is pulled on the politicians and "special interest" wanting this !!!
