I love the verbiage of, “our clients goals”. Their “clients” are funded by my tax dollars to which I have had NO representation. I am so tired of never having a voice.

Thes urban planning programs need to be ahut down.. they are doing great harm to cities across America Any bets most are funded by Developers, It and/or hedge funds

What is exactly meant by "demolishing homes"? The city will evict current home owners/residents?

Although it’s been decades since I lived in Middle Village, all of this really breaks my heart. While I understand times have changed and no place will ever be what it was, this is not about buildings, sidewalks and stores. It’s about people and how THEY choose to live. These proposals are solutions to problems that do not exist. Rather, they will create new problems and one by one, take away one more remaining precious piece of what makes this area so great. Yes. A Taco Bell has replaced Neiderstiens - the restaurant where we had our wedding reception and lunch after burying my parents and many others. Very sad it’s gone, but I understand why - and it wasn’t because a bunch of urban planning “experts” decided people should eat enchiladas instead of sauerbraten. But in a way, that’s what they’re talking about now with these crazy proposals. Obviously, what they don’t teach in urban planning school is that everyday people who take care of the homes they work hard to afford, keep an eye on their kids and everyone else’s, shop locally and defend what is rightfully theirs, make the best urban planners around. Please. No more Taco Bell’s. Save the crumb cake, the brasciole and the real pizza. Fight this before it’s all gone.

Did George Costanza have a hand in this? 🤣

This is a hunter college student class project

It's Arby's, not Taco Bell

This would be, if true, the most asinine thing ever! (And you have to admit, there have been A LOT of asinine things being put out there lately 🙄)

This is horrible. I do not believe those residents feel isolated.

The plan is a disaster

I urge everyone to read this. It may be lengthy, but it’s a real eye-opener! It’s insane what they ASSUME we want and need.

This state is doomed thanks to the demon demorats 👿

Guess what? EVERYONE will leave, so do WTF they want

They intentionally divided up the community boards so that power against this plan is diluted. This is not a lack of understanding of our communities and our structures it is an intentional design. Bottom line if you are a developer, all you see are opportunities for development. If you are a hammer everything is a nail. But People choose mid vil over other parts of the city for a reason. Not everyone wants to live in a neighborhood with high density. I also bet we have higher rates of neurodivergence here due to being a quieter place and slower pace so ADA and other similar considerations should apply.

And what about the overstrained electrical grid , roads and utilities to support all these new “ arrivals”?

How about more Trauma centers! More Fire houses! How about, we fix the current crumbling infrastructure? The grid can not handle the current electricity use! Let’s bring thousands more into a neighborhood that is already over crowded with constant traffic! NO! NO! NO!!!!!

You get what you vote for! 😆 The city is never going back to what it was! Ever.

The Middle class is on sale at the $1 store!! No regards for Queens residents!! The American Tax Payer is going to shit!! Thank you very little and your welcome even less!!

This is a terrible idea. Cannot let it happen.

This is fkn sick. So they want everyone to leave basically. This way they can implement their socialist bullshit.

Those who voted for the democrat supermajority raise your hands, and quit complaining

NYC is over and done with. Queen is a sh"thole. The foundation will never hold all of this big building and construction. Just give me enough money to get the f"ck out of here because there is absolutely NO quality of life here at all. Hochul, DeBlasio, Adams, now Mamdani. No body gives a rats ass. These posts are useless. There is nothing we can do about any of itl
