Unfortunately our local Councilman invited people on probation from prison to clean the neighborhood. We also have two high schools nearby. Tough kids who thieve try all doors. We all have to toughen up now. Wouldn’t want to get back from lunch break to walk in on an intruder.

I really can’t understand how videos like this don’t implicate suspects 100% of the time.

Crime is down isn’t it Mr. DumBlasio. LIC seems to be seeing more and more burglaries.

Gentrification. When you see a neighborhood where people are paying at least $3000 per month for a studio, it’s assumed that’s where the money is. The divide between the rich and poor is so great now- didn’t DeBlahsio promise to fix that? He’s only helped to make it worse.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards announced on Monday a long list of recommendations to approve the city’s OneLIC Neighborhood Plan with conditions.

The sweeping proposal entered the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) in April, following certification by the City Planning Commission, and aims to transform a large portion of Long Island City with new zoning rules that would create nearly 14,700 housing units—including 4,300 affordable homes—alongside 14,400 jobs, over 3.5 million square feet of commercial and industrial space and expanded access to the East River waterfront.
