It over for the E and F train. About to be looking like the D train heading downtown at 8 am on a weekday with a million delays
E train been a shyt show since they opened the air train to JFK.
LIC been expensive as fukk for years. All the high rise apartment/office buildings that been built over the years but at the same time, the area just seems dead.

Long Island city’s ultimate vision is to be DUMBO.

It’s a live spot for recreational activities but pretty boring for food and entertainment.

When I uber out there usually everyone is going to the city or to Brooklyn.

IP industry and international trade is heavy here..along with the tech industry in Tyson corner and Reston. NoVA is very generic and cookie cutter


Oh shyt how could I forget about the patent office. I was originally just thinking bezos was just trying to pick off the best lobbyists. But yeah they live and die off IP.


I think a lot of the crystal city employees will be trying to transfer to Seattle or NYC after a year or 2 in Nova :russ:

They still have the strip clubs out there. Used to be a gang of them back in the day.

If NYC and DC get one of those hyphe loop trains that Musk is trying to invent they might not even have to transfer

You bugging. Queens has everything Amazon needs

-Space ( Queens is massive land wise)
-Real Diversity ( so many educated black people here)
-Other Fortune 500 companies ( Jet Blue and Coca Cola vitamin water division)
-Two major Airports ( LaGuardia and JFK)
-Close access to manhattan using the 7 train.

i avoid queens at all costs.....this is gonna make that area worse traffic wise. rents about to shoot up...its a win for NYC as a top city...a major lose for native NY'ers.

fukk amazon for this. :comeon:

Do NYC and Arlington really need these high profile companies coming in? Especially Arlington. I used to live there. The USG has made that place weathly beyond belief. It already costs like $2500 a month for a small one bedroom in Ballston.

NYC doesn’t need that shyt either. Rich get richer :francis:

I know they were talking about doing a light rail system that ran similar to the bqe called the bqx. That might help with traffic
