I see what you saying..they could create hubs so it won't have to make some many stops..from Manhattan to jamaica center...then from there you got buses and other trains...but then again if that did happen, gentrification would jump like 600 percent in 1 year..

they even got plans for the hunts point area..

like when you past the highway or ride the 6 train before/after the tunnel and you see those tracks...they want to have an Amtrak station there..

they had the pictures of it and everything...

Word you must be referring to the other sections , because section 5 always been a crip section and co-op now a days be beefing with section 5 in general , but it's always been sec 5 against the world from what the old heads be telling me lol

Well suppose they decide to upgrade the subway lines to high speed train lines? It takes 30-40 mins to get to Manhattan from Jamaica center, canarsie, north Bronx, etc....high speed trains can cut that time in half or less! Then what?:ohhh::lupe:
Well good point but then again Nassau county is only 30-40 minutes by LIRR and I don't see hipsters/yuppies flocking there

Rosedale, Cambria Heights, Laurelton, etc are too suburban and thus not "cool" enough

And even a lot of the Bronx, it might have a lot of big apartment buildings but it still feels too spread out

I guess our last hope is probably Staten Island then. But nobody wants to move there. That boro is filled with racist itlian/greece/irish cacs. Here in Sunset Park people say its an upcoming neighborhood. But my question is the influx of Mexican and Ricans fleeing broke ass Puerto Rico are coming here like crazy so I dont know how they will be able to afford this damn high rent. I dont like where the city is heading. Queens is next man. I mean cacs already got LIC and now I am hearing them pushing to Jamaica? Why Its dumb far away from Manhattan. :mjcry:

True but if they upgrade them to bullet trains first, that may spawn the remodeling of those said communities..

To my understanding, Long Island has a lot of building codes that would prevent too much development

There are only certain parts of Long Island where you see apartment buildings more than 2-3 stories high

Edit: I forgot that I also talked about suburban Queens but I don't see much development there, as there are a lot of homeowners

Codes?? Look at Manhattan... Money trumps codes any day...its a good reason theyre called "codes"... Most these codes really mean to keep minorities out and tax ridden as possible while keeping whites rich and protected so to speak....code in long island would change as long as you have money and the demographics dont change :mjpls:

Why hipsters? Is that the universal symbol of people to hate? What if it's Asian ? Spanish? What about older white families? The thing is we had over 30 years to get ready but aren't . 30 years to progress but didn't now we blame it on hipsters. Good grief. I respect Trinidad and Jamician families who lived in Queens and worked hard and saved and brought property and businesses . I respect the African families who came here and grinded it out for their kids to make it farther in life than they could ever go. These people didn't sit around and reminisce about the good old days when the area was shyt and we rob and killed each other. They took advantage of the lower prices on real estate and bought. I really don't see why people are complaining about areas being lost when you don't own shyt in it. If the people who own property there sell it , it's on them, they can say no. This complaining about this area is lost and such is crazy. This thread is great just to see people miss simple things like what if we moved to Midwest or placed where real estate and rent is cheaper , saved and moved back here or sent our kids here like white families do educated and ready to compete for high paying jobs or starting their own business with the skills to run it. But since this is the coli let me make simple post and blame hipsters or yuppies and look for daps.

Hmmm because influx of hipsters upset market value for already poor people already struggling to live there... :mjpls:

Lets be honest The asians got flushing on lock. the indians got hillside and roosevelt ave 7 line on lock... they not moving into jamaica queens like that. the hipsters will come because when there's no more space in brooklyn or Manhattan they'll say queens is the "up and coming" :mjpls: neighborhood to be in. and the Lirr into manhattan is convenient it's only a block away...
