Eagle Pickle Works has been in business since 1888. The building it’s in is likely to be developed thanks to City of Yes.
Eddies pickles?????
What street is that?
Delicious pickles
It should be restored and treasured rather than demolished. However, politicians and city agencies have proven that we inhabit an anti-green, anti-history, and anti-small business city.
Yes, it's about overdeveloping areas along the line, and no, that first photo is not of the IBX. It's of the Bushwick line behind the Knockdown Center. 🙄

New York City’s first new transit line in decades, the $5.5 billion Interborough Express, could transform fast-growing parts of Brooklyn and Queens.I overheard some hipsters on the G train saying they were going to cut back on their daily matcha for a down-payment in maspeth once this is built !
More mass transit means less traffic. That’s good for commercial and emergency vehicles and good for people who don’t want to buy a car. It’s also good for the environment. Everyone will benefit. Even those who don’t use mass transit.
This article is about someone wanting to go to Middle Village from Brooklyn. Why would he want to go there in the first place? He doesn't work there. Absolutely ridiculous.
My dad used to work in Brooklyn and he had to drive because the train took forever. He had to go into Manhattan to get the Brooklyn. 
When they designed the train system is all about Manhattan
Yes
I'm a senior living in Glendale, yesterday I had the audacity to go to Manhattan's upper east side. I took the bus to the M train, to the E train, to the number 6 train. Please excuse for not wanting to see $6 billions being spent on transportation to nowhere.
The Goal of this project is to ruin Middle Village
Hopefully I will be retired and moved out of Middle Village before this train is up and running.
If it’s not broken don’t fix leave our neighborhood the way it is
Just what we need more transportation
If they could put in the rail line without having to find a way to make a profit by taking advantage of the situation, maybe then we would agree to it. seem like they can't make an "improvement" without dipping their hands into the pots, and usually people get hurt in that action. The overdeveloping of our little neighborhood would be detrimental to those who live here and own property here. We've worked hard for years to keep this corner of the city nice and safe for families and now the powers that be all just want to cash in on that and ruin it for us.
 i’m getting out of here going to Mississippi
This rail line is a farce and will never be built. It was only 'imagined' by Hochul and Lieber the socialist head of the MTA to enact the zoning changes for more Dem votes and to line their pockets. There is private property, a private rail line, and even a cemetery in play. This thing will get locked up in court for long after the zoning changes are cashed in on and our neighborhoods destroyed. Love how that evil bitch Gov and the MTA find a way to start a civil war to distract everyone, and no one sees what is going on right in front of their eyes? They refuse to see it!
Update on COPA: The bill is being changed to 4+ units, and targets those in foreclosure.
Council Revamps Bill Giving Housing Groups First Dibs to Buy — and Landlords Still Object

The Community Opportunity to Purchase Act would allow preservation ventures 90 days to make an offer, getting out ahead of real estate speculators, sponsors say.Still unconstitutional
And who the hell is gonna make sure/police these groups actually give those people housing, that is safe and maintained housing and not their friends and family. And not become even worse slumlords! Yes this Democrat doesn’t trust this at all. Let alone this seems very wrong and illegal! This is not kosher
It’s still  communism! No one has the right to force private property owners to do this!  Keep voting for these communist Democrats😡
Please note.
