Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.
LOST in the hubbub of the election, it’s aftermath, and a raging pandemic, was the second anniversary of Amazon’s announcement of Long Island City as the co-winner for HQ2 on November 5. Were it to have been consummated the headquarters would probably have been in its early stages of development right now. While office workers would have been a few years out (ex those assigned to the Citi Building in Court Square), construction workers would have been plentiful, buttressing the lunch time and happy hour business along Vernon Boulevard. And the thought of what was to come in another year or two would have given LIC a light at the end of the tunnel. Now we have?

November 19, 2020 at 8:24 pmIf you’re renting then you have flexibility to move if prices go too high. That’s why you rent. Right now, pricing is the lowest ever and even more supply will be coming to the neighborhood over time. If you’re an owner, you’re already paying a lot. People need jobs. A lot of them.
