fukk Robert Moses...that guy made far rockaway a dumping ground for Invalids and mentally ill people living in assisted living.
There's more nursing homes, halfway houses, and assisted living facilities than any other part of NY. The boardwalk (before sandy crushed the buildings and swept it out to sea) is riddled with with them when there should b condos , hotels, bars, and restaurants. Name me one beachfront community that has section 8 waterfront property and no booming businesses ill wait 
The hipsters were moving in but sandy hurt the movement big time. On one hand I like the hipsters bc they open new businesses n put a spotlight on the community, on the other hand I wish it was more ppl I grew up w making money n being entrepreneurs, but they're too indoctrinated w the belief that far rock will always b shyt. In ten yrs the neighborhood will b drastically diff, n it's crazy bc it all started w some hipsters opening up a tiny taco stand on a run down block n started making paper.
....so much so that he was providing funding for other NYC infrastructure projects at the time....with that said.....he did put in some good thoroughfares for the city...
