Areas that will be rezoned for high density market rate housing once IBX opens. Each circle represents 1/2 mile radius from a station. It will completely destroy large swaths of Elmhurst, Maspeth, Mid... See MoreSee Less

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

And everyone who got their bill yesterday was flabbergasted!!!

All more reason for No on City of Yes

But let’s all get electric cars & stoves 😂

So they reduced voltage.. But I'm sure as he'll they aren't going to reduce you bill accordingly now are they???. 🤔 💭 🤔 💭 🤔 💭 🤔

Quick question, all you people that have seen your bills double and triple ...did you get those new meters like two years back?

385 for one month … ridiculous considering not one day has the AC been able to reach his max capacity unless you’re standing right in front of it you don’t feel anything

Mine is autrageus, did you see the 2nd page how many taxes are we paying? Just look at it we pay double taxes.

Had a feeling. Have the ac on and it’s cooler outside.

Thank you for update

Here we go again.

They didn't say Maspeth in that press release. We have our voltage reduced too.

Con Ed can’t keep up with the electric grid but they want everyone to get rid of gas stoves and cars.

And thier raiseing the rates in 2026 January too either 13 or 16 % do you know anyone thats gets a pay raise of 13 oer 16 % a year exactly just pushing people further & further behind the 8 ball.

They need to tell people not to charge their electric cars

And this service and they want to raise our rates even more. 🤦‍♂️

Reduce the voltage but want to increase the bills. While I’m sweating my balls off. I wonder would they stick a voltage reader up their arse.

The only reason Con Edison gets away with this is because of the “donkeys” in Albany that we continue to elect.

Yet my bill doubled this month and I’ve used the same electricity as last month! They’re out of control and this needs to be stopped!

Got one question are they going to reduced the rates are we still going to get charged the regular rates or maybe more I know they just been careful to make sure we don’t get a blackout but this is not new 🤷🏻‍♀️

City sucks. Con Ed sucks even more. They should be locked up

New York is a joke we are worst than a third world country with power train stains roads and more.

They continue to raise rates and service is awful.

612.00 for one month! But haven’t really turned it off either.

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.
