Flushing street corner, October 2009
I love how this WNYC article about neighborhood preservation begins, "Wednesday was a big day for New Yorkers who like things just the way they are." While I may or may not be that New Yorker, I am happy to hear that the 1-2 family homes, that attributes to much of Queens charm, will stay intact...at least for now.
With so much development in NYC over the past few years its nice to see a pause in the construction boom, however slight it may be. Its also probably a good choice since a new massive building in such an area would really be a horrendous sight, Like LES. The architectural landscape of the lower eastside is weird and sometimes really ugly.
