Long Island City is not Long Island. Brooklyn and Queens are physically on Long Island, but when people say "Long Island" they almost always mean only Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Subzwari1987 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Long Island City makes sense, since people could stay there or in Astoria if they don’t want to travel too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenTongue Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 LIC is an interesting choice, but it's already in the middle of an absolute explosion of development right now. My office is in Astoria and I pass through LIC every day, and the amount of owrk that's gone up in the last five years is incredible. Still wondering when the south Bronx sees the same kind of gentrification/redevelopment that happened in Brooklyn, midtown west, and LIC.

But anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived there for about four years out of college and it was pretty gentrified then and got even MORE gentrified after I left. A company I worked for in Manhattan just moved there last year.

Greatoneshere Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 New York City is a great place to visit, and to live outside of, but I would never live there. I've been in NYC's proximity to one degree or another my whole life and not once have I ever felt the need to live there. Also too many streets/sidewalks and metro/subway stations smell like piss. The fact that Philadelphia has been on the rise this last decade to the point that some NYC'ers are calling Philadelphia "the sixth borough" is a bunch of horseshit though. They looked down on us forever but now because Philly has become awesome they want a piece? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 So if the city gets half a headquarters, do Amazon get half the tax breaks? The good news is that the commute to LIC from North New Jersey isn’t easy so I hope the impact is minimal for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Quote Even without Amazon, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments estimated that the region needs to add 235,000 housing units by 2025 to keep pace with expected job growth. Amazon’s arrival could push the goal above 267,000, according to a recent analysis by the Urban Institute. Right now it is on pace to add about 170,000 new units by 2026. Per WaPo Lol you boned NoVA. Hopefully the state gets the HSR from Richmond so that some crazy people can commute there and Richmond gets the benefits with fewer of the downsides.
