Where is the coverage about the drive by shooting that happened on Steinway street last week?? Is that bad publicity for the neighborhood?

Please raise my rent again to live in this shithole. I can’t imagine not paying 3k for a dump apt in the hood. I mean it’s beautiful. I can’t park for the love of God. I’m lucky to meet someone who speaks English, I get harassed on the NYC subway and Ubers double park all over picking their noses and hacking snot balls near foodstands. Please raise my rent.. I’m only 5 blocks from the projects in my 3k apt!! Life is wonderful

Imagine being this fragile!

Oh no, someone spoke another language! Damn that diversity. You should move to a Republican paradise like Alabama. They have teenage pregnancy instead of diversity.

You might find this hard to believe but, Astoria was once right leaning. It’s going down the drain fast.The illegals can have it.

I agree, the Trump lovers are really fragile

Something like being offended by hearing Spanish is the kind of thing we’d expect from the right, like the people that lived in Astoria. Thanks for agreeing with me.

Anyone who says Astoria hasn’t changed for the worst is either deceiving themselves or ignorant to the reality that has taken place the past 3 to 5 years.

Criminals are more brazen thanks to the new criminal reform laws. NYC is slowly but surely turning back to the grimy 70’s and 80’s

When The Durst Organization broke ground on its massive Halletts Point project in Astoria on a cold winter day in January 2016, the speeches were delivered inside a massive brick warehouse that had cut off public access to a stretch of East River waterfront for generations. That warehouse is long gone, demolished and then replaced by two high-rise residential towers, 20 and 30 Halletts Point, which launched leasing earlier this year, and a 58,000-square-foot waterfront esplanade that opened to the public this month.

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
