I really can’t imagine Middle Village ever becoming that gentrified. It’s so far from the city via public transportation.

Can you post this in Glendale Civic Association group please?

Barbecues in Juniper Park-- coming soon

I agree! Let’s fight this. We need to keep our neighborhoods safe.

Then comes the eminent domain

Is there a source on the plan to upzone all the way to high density? The proposals I have seen show nothing (preferring to convert dead commercial and manufacturing space) or a modest upzone to the highest end of low-density zoning. And still, all of this requires many people to sell their property because of the prevalence of row housing

Yup, I read that they estimated that 37k new units if housing can be built in middle village alone

All I can say is I'm glad I grew up here when I did. Goodbye my beautiful neighborhood

FYI- There are only zoning proposals right now.

Will this cause our property values to go down if living near the train?

Dear everyone! Please provide a list or steps on how to fight prevent and reduce all possibilities. If we can gather steps to fight and prevent, I would not mind leading a pack to ensure we follow and make every attempt possible. I was pushed out of wiliamburg as a born native. I refuse to have it done again in Glendale.

This is why I moved. Once that homeless shelter went up on Cooper I knew it was only a matter of time till it got worse. Sad. They’re gonna do whatever they want at the end.

Please don’t we don’t want another Williamsburg/bushwick

Let's continue to FIGHT THIS. WE DO NOT WANT OR NEED THIS IBX!

The sewer & electric infrastructure cannot support us today, how could we possibly handle a significant increase in residents?!

The question is CAN we fight it? Residents of maspeth, middle village and elmhurst and perhaps all areas of queens affected need a joint meeting with our elected officials as soon as possible to discuss the most effective process to fight this.

People get what they voted for! And people who don’t vote are to blame even more!

The City is going to destroy these neighborhoods.

I do not thinknit is gentrification. Gentrification is when you make a neighborhood better with high end rentals and high end stores

Basically they’re gonna buy up homes and put massive apartments in their place. Then they won’t care who they will rent to and it will probably result in whoever or whatever or however they can fill those apartments. Basically you’ll invite the animals in and everyone will be shocked when the area becomes a zoo

Can someone explain it to me? How is possible around the Juniper Park. Only private houses around...

CITY SUCKS

Our hearts are heavy over the tragic loss of life in last night’s mass killing.

God bless Officer Islam and all the victims, and we thank him for his service to our city.
