Posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Nov 10 15:41:04 2025, in response to Middle Village and Maspeth NIMBYs come out to oppose IBX, posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Nov 10 15:25:14 2025. At the top of the list of concerns was upzoning, which would likely attract more people to the relatively quiet parts of northern Queens.I wonder if these are the same people who gleefully point out decreases in NYC's population when those happen. The neighborhoods surrounding these stops, including Maspeth and Middle Village, have thrived for generations as quiet, small towns within the bustling metropolis of New York. The areas are comprised mostly of one- and two-family homes, many of which have been passed on within families over the course of generations. Translation: Every house in these areas should be a landmark. The areas should have been developed so that I can live there, and now that I live there, development must stop. As an aside, they keep saying this trip would take less than 40 minutes. (This article says 32). I just don't see that. Less than 2 minutes a stop? These stops aren't close - they're spaced significantly further apart than regular subway stops on average. |
