Please pardon me for using your space: Looking left or looking right. Wow! Modern structure. (Hello YIMBY)
Sounds like a win win situation.
I hate this. I’m going to miss this Great Wall supermarket. And now there’s going to be all this loud and dusty construction in already polluted Flushing.
Honestly who approves these things? The construction is already ridiculous and the amount of pollution Ive been exposed to due to these constant projects is getting frustrating. They just built a ton of new buildings on the block they should occupy those before constructing more places not for the people of flushing but for tourists? Im voting this time bec the corruption is obvious.
Looks amazing. Super interested in this!
