Extend the F train to the city line and do this the whole way up. Thousands of units of housing for working class people.
Amen to that and it should have been done 80 years ago. Extending it all the way to Little Neck Pkwy or even New Hyde Park Rd would be even better.
This is not exactly working class housing
Working class people don’t make 30% over the AMI. The nearest train station is 9 blocks away and this is on a hill. Look at that dork in the AI generated picture. The city for the last 10 years built more housing for the rich who don’t exist and always will and regular people will continue to rent basements and units in slumlord buildings. That’s why the city wants to build more. The meaning of affordable has been bastardized.
I will love to be a winner and get one of those apartments
$2,300 a month for a one bedroom is not “affordable.”
