Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

It's good that this is making the news. I'm sure that there are many similar places in downtown Flooshing.
The average rent is $3,800/month.
So, given that rent should be approx. 25% of one's gross income one would have to make, on average, $183,000 to afford the average rent in Manhattan. I think a lot of those better-paying jobs in tech and finance were outsourced.
What's the answer? Shut it down and all of those people become homeless?
This city should not be governed by policies that make developers, property owners and real estate agents wealthy - they account for a very small minority. They've been allowed to destroy NYC, thanks to Bloomberg and his ilk.
Unfortunately, deBlaz seems just as clueless, living in his little Brooklyn bastion of civility.
Just wait until he unleashes all the basement apartments. Every basement in Queens will become a Hell Hotel overnight! Try parking then! Try finding your kid a seat in school then!
