This encampment is located across the street from the proposed homeless shelter on Flushing Avenue in Maspeth. It has been reported several times with no action taken by NYC. The City ignores street homeless while building new facilities to transfer people from prisons and migrant shelters and we're supposed to be ok with it.
No.

In this instance Isn't that encampment on the railroad property Maybe in a way around the city is to take it up with the railroad that's technically trespassing in the right of way..

Why complain now? You voted Hochul/Mamdani. They allow this

As long as nyc is under a (questionable) emergency status regarding homelessness, shelters can be placed wherever the powers that be decide to place them without community input. This emergency status was put in place a few years ago. If we remove the emergency status of the situation (from a policy standpoint) then perhaps we can change the outcomes. But what would justify a change in status? What are the benchmarks, criteria, etc.?

It’s the new normal which I can’t and will never get use to

There are numerous encampments on queens boulevard by the entry to BQE by 68th st with tens of homeless and big mess, also by other overpasses. Nobody cares in this city anymore. It's been like that for a while

Cause in nyc migrants get 1st priority for shelter space

Oh wow I’m surprised someone cares about here

How many beds in each room?

How did this happen without anyone knowing? And please.domt say the current admin cause they have only been in office for 10 months. Stuff like this has years of planning, especially when it's this secretive... 55-05 flushing llc have owned it since 2024

Who's behind 55-05 Flushing Owner LLC? Miraculously the parts of the deed where the owner's signature is isn't available on city recorder's website

That’s the old star corrugated business ??

I am a bit unclear where/how this is being billed as a "homeless" anything? A quick check indicates it is being sold as a modern warehouse in "industrial" Maspeth. Am I missing something? 🤔🇺🇸💪

Status: Announced/proposed (facing local political and community review concerns)

They are warehousing humans lol

As long as it’s not happening in MV..

That’s only a few blocks from a special ed school.

Get out and VOTE RED. Now is the time.

At some point they're gonna put the people from rikers somewhere As they're gonna close it. Get out and vote

Have shelter near atlas mall. Freaks wander area looking at little kids and women

FLUSHING AVE IN Maspeth????

The adress is a bit off. When in GPS its right by atlas on the other side of the underpath ,71st ave 74th street is the 55-05 adress. This is supposedly going to be next to the already exisiting shelter in glendale/middlevillage? They must've gotten the wrong photo or adress.

Corruption

Get out and vote against changing our way of life and country.

go vote Hochul !!! more shit like that will come your way

THEY Want 2 Mess Up ALL Decent neighborhoods

Yesterday the socialists were knocking on doors looking for support votes for mamdani minions.
