Ever been around there at night? It’s a disgusting free for all. That “luxury building” will be converted to a homeless shelter in no time. Who would want to live in such a high crime neighborhood?

As a white American I would rather take my chances walking downtown Kabul at night then this cesspool.
“luxury building” in the center of rat infested sewage field ?
Jamaica can never be fixed or gentrified because its residents like living that way !!
The landlord will cry "hardship" and it will be a homeless shelter or flophouse for sec 8 vouchers.

I am sure the city would love to gentrify that area and bring in some by big earners.

To last Anonymous:

Don't spook the purportedly Black failed leadership with such thoughts like, "Who would want to live in such a high crime neighborhood?" The 300% fake, 'Minstrel Show' street buskers, Leroy Comrie, Floyd (The Flake) Flake, Gregory Meeks, James Sanders, Khaleel Anderson (who blocked me from his Twitter account on June 8th when I called him a liar - an unlawful act for a publicly elected to unjustifiably block a constituent from his/her social media accounts), and ALL of their collective arrogance, cowardice and fraudulence belong in an Arctic prison for life, with the rest of the DNC crime family socipaths, ALL of whom ravaged New York State, with impunity.

Just another example of Black exploitation against their own color and kind——but, naturally: It's everyone else who embraces 'The White Devil!' What a bastion of hypocrisy; what a frightful disgrace to emppower such a worthless, feckless cabal of empowered idiots who are bent on destroying all pretense of society, in the name of 'NAKED GREED,' cognitive dissonance AND Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), three forms of mental illness for which there IS no cure. And, the public be damned (again and STILL)! What? THIS IS NEW???

Two blocks away from 'Smilen Brothers Market.'

Even the Jamaica Post Office moved from that block.

Lost a great 'Fletchers Castoria' sign painted on a wall.

Yep, I want to pay outrageous amounts of money to live in a crime infested, garbage strewn dump. SURE.........................

I mean, come ON, where is Black Pride in this community, where once great jazz artists called home and middle to upper middle class black families lived with nice homes and yards (like before the black politicians sold this area out. I mean someone approved of putting Royal Waste Dump in the middle of a residential area.

C'mon, guys. This is an urban Eden, where else can you find the bounty of bodegas selling Four Lokos and steel reserves 24/7? The fried fish fiesta that is Sutphin? And the ABBONDANZA of ass pedaled after dark?

Dude, have you been there during the day lately? It's just as bad as at night.

This touted "luxury" building is just a block away from where that guy was stabbed and walked around with the knife sticking out of his back. Joe Moretti had the pix on his blog Clean Up Jamaica.
