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.?

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

I passed their in the 1990s still a mess

Mamdani just announced his new winter plan. Homeless don’t wanna go to shelters bc they are horrible! He needs to do better. Citizens first

Have you seen queens blvd passed 69 street getting on the BQE under the bridge that encampment is growing , mattresses everywhere .. was a single home now it’s multiple. Mamdani took police away from disbanding homeless encampments.

www.instagram.com/p/DfhcAeRJX0O/?exln=MXVvZGI2a2Y2cDh4Mw== Call the police, just make sure it’s the real ones.๐Ÿคจ

Cause in nyc migrants get 1st priority for shelter space

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

Our neighborhood deserves better. It’s unfortunate that so many of our neighbors voted these terrible politicians in and now we’re stuck with their terrible policies.

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

Ryan Sorell

I don’t trust them!!!!! 165 men? And where are they going to be all day? There goes my property value!!!

Parents upset over Queens daycare closing after serving community for decades

Parents are now seeking alternatives, but some fear other childcare providers may not have enough space to accommodate affected families.

Keeping CTK Daycare Preschool open is essential for working class families and this community as a whole to keep thriving. If we lose CTK Daycare Preschool, there will be negative rippling effects felt throughout the community.

We need CKK to remain open. It’s one of the best programs in our area. The before-care and aftercare is the biggest blessing for working parents like myself. Please help us to keep them open.

The primary purpose of CTK is High School education. If the space is needed to serve that purpose then so be it.

This will be a very big burden to all those parents who need that in order for them to continue working. ๏ฟผ

Wonder how many parents met with our Councilman to discuss this issue? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’ช

If a women were to have a baby this summer in middle village - where will she turn to at 6 weeks when she is forced to go back to work? Nowhere because ctk was the only place.

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? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’ช

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.
