Come on Astoria, make sure it’s ugly.
Why Does NYC Wish to Destroy
All Single Family Homes?
This is on the corner of two main streets, adjacent to the elevated subway. This is the kind of place you want more density. Plenty of smaller 1-3 unit buildings scattered about there, and plenty still going up though mostly in outer areas of the city.
The ongoing ethnic cleansing of White Native New Yorkers
There is something wrong with you. Go to therapy
“White ethnic cleansing?!?!”
You are fucking insane for saying something so obscenely tone deaf and untrue. Victimizing white people and playing the victim card, whereas people of color are the real ones that have faced endless and incomparable amounts of racial discrimination, harassment, unfair employment & housing opportunities, and mass evictions in all of New York City.
Your comment sounds about white, and clearly shows your brainwashed right-wing, white supremacist beliefs instilled by that grifting pedophilic orange fuckface that can’t die soon enough.
That’s like saying we should feel bad for the first white settlers for being told by native Americans to get off the land that belonged to them first.
Too bad they committed a genocide on the indigenous people.
You people are never going to give up the brainless slop you learned in college, are you?
I’m sorry, ‘white native nyers?’ 💀
another Chinese shipbox built with 100% imported scab Chinese labor. Yay, America.
