Mucho Mango!

Astoria, with Broadway taking the top grimy spot, followed by some nefarious activity on 30th Avenue, has its share of homeless people, junkies and other problematic types leading to an unwelcome spike in crime in this booming area. We need to get that sleepyhead, lazy Democrat of a mayor out of office soon and clean things up around here.

Robberies, muggings, drugs busts, hate crimes, etc. so many negative things I hear and read about Astoria. I think cops patrolling the streets are needed. And safety and quality of life issues should be addressed promptly before things get even worse.
