Reply to comment by Dont_mute_me_bro in Douglaston residents come out against Hocul’s affordable housing plan by Russianb0t1

The apartments getting built here come with parking and are garden-style, so still plenty of light. I also know apartment dwellers’ names too! Amazing how that works when you get to know people who might not be exactly like you. Don’t be such a snob.

What are you, the mayor of your block? Anyway, I don't believe you for a minute.

I live in Queens, the most diverse county in America. My block has people from all over the world, so I don't know what you're implying about "exactly like me". The Chinese, Korean, Azerbaijani, Indian, Russian and Secular Jewish families nearby aren't much like me, never mind "exactly" like me, but yeah, man.

You're the duke of diversity, the maharajah of multifariousness... /s

Hardly. You sound like 90% of the posters on this site. Nothing new, clever, unique or original; just banal and jejune sloganeering. "Look at me. I'm more diverse/anti-racist/Progressive than you". Quite boring, really.

And you sound disturbingly like so many of the white racists i grew up with, that I was so fortunate to escape from. I wouldn’t raise my kid around people like you if someone gave me an entire free house in whatever suburban queens neighborhood you lord over.

Is this your alternate account?

First of all, I live in Queens, which is a part of NYC. Therefore I am not "suburban". Second of all, if I have said anything that is "racist" please by all means report me. Third, my kids did great being in a secure neighborhood with a great sense of community. We had Scouts, Little league, CYO baseball and basketball, and the ability to play unsupervised in the streets, not cooped up in an apartment.

What have I said here that is in any way "racist"? If it is, please report me and have me banned and/or muted. If not, mind your business.

Daring to preserve the character of your neighborhood is racist. Let’s make the whole borough look like South Richmond Hill it’ll be so nice! Funny enough if this was a state led initiative where the government was actually developing housing and investing in communities, and updating and modernizing the derelict run down LIRR stops in Eastern Queens I’d support it. You know actually accommodating proposed booms in population like how they used to develop the borough at the turn of the century.

But it’s not. These developers will be selling their units at market rate. This is made quite clear in both the proposals and discussions taking place at Albany. There is no mention of building new schools, increasing public transit, expanding walkways and pedestrian safe zones ZERO. The state gives a paltry “we will work alongside developers” yeah ok, sure. How about a little more detail than we will get to that bridge when we cross it? Hochul is giving a gift to private developers under the guise of equity. These idiots are eating it up. Also, a lot of residents and civic associations in SE Queens are against this proposal as well, but that would not fit with the “how dare you be racist!” narrative in these comments.
