Queens
So if they split the HQ2 between NOVA and NYC that would be totally unexpected, and actually not overwhelm a city with 50k people.

Right next door to Long Island City is Sunnyside Yards, which like what is happening with Hudson Yards has been mentioned as a location to cap over with a platform to put apts/condos, offices, schools and parks.

It's an expensive process and it would need something like a 25,000 person project to make it feasible.

This is just a potential conceptual rendering, not a specific plan, but some of those buildings taller than the blue Citibank skyscraper in the background may not be feasible. The reason is because LaGuardia airport is just north of LIC/Sunnyside Yards and in the takeoff/landing runway flight path, so FAA has major control over the height of buildings in this area.



Oh really? :ohhh: I definitely thought those were still overwhelmingly white. Are these Mexicans? Colombians? Central Americans?



This is not a warehouse their trying to build but a corporate office campus.


Jackson Heights is not overwhelming white at all
I don't see any white people on Junction, 82nd st, 74th st, Roosevelt, 37th Ave, Northern, etc

Gotta think of some aways to take advantage of this. I am sure there are so many business opportunities that could come from this especially in Crystal city.

Isn’t that part of Maryland already majority black

Yes. I was speaking more reputationally and culturally. Historically, Waldorf was always viewed as the boonies and “not cool” but once Amazon forces us out of DC and potentially PG, brehs will have no choice but to move to Charles county.

I still want to move to Queens. Always loved that borough besides Brooklyn is getting crazy expensive and I have been here my whole life. Want a new scenery.
Thinking about moving to either Hollis,Jackson Heights,Ridgewood, Cambria Heights,South Side Jamaica, St Albans, the neighborhood that is by Baisley Park I forgot the name of it. Queens is a low key underrated borough for a young black professional bachelor.
add in laurelton for the predominantly black areas in queens.

Queens village used to be mixed 1970's to 2000. but now its 50% West Indian/Caribbean 25% black 25% other.
