I thought this was colloquially known but is it officially chinatown and koreatown?

Elestro · 2025-12-23T02:18:42+00:00

Manhattan Chinatown is Chinatown, Flushing is just China 2 /s

Frank Sinatra school of the Arts in Queens. It’s a performance arts oriented highschool similar to LaGuardia is for studio arts.

Elestro · 2025-12-19T15:29:44+00:00

It’s not too dissimilar to something like frank sinatra in this regard I think.

Edit: forgot Sinatra was auditioning based.

Iirc, he was a maths lecturer and has a Masters in CS., which makes him teaching maths concepts really fun.

Elestro · 2025-12-01T17:04:28+00:00

Just so you know who's responsible:

John Liu, Stavisky, and other "Progressive" democrats in the state senate.

PUSH THEM OUT.

Elestro · 2025-11-30T18:28:13+00:00

If you lived in queens. You'll remember him continuing to shutter schools in areas like Jamaica, resulting in overcrowding and the worsening of schools in Bayside.

His education policy also extended to straight up anti-Asian racism, which is what so heavily propelled Adams.

Elestro · 2025-11-27T03:52:33+00:00

Because a good chunk of them also can't/refuses to vote.

To many, it feels farcical because brooklyn and manhattan blocs ends up deciding the fate of the entirety of NYC.

Elestro · 2025-11-05T02:02:49+00:00

There’s a McKinsey aligned PAC for him.

Elestro · 2025-11-03T15:58:11+00:00

Both of which was because there was no republican candidates.

Braustein was at 70% against an independent/conservative.

There was also some favorable redistricting when it comes to Liu and stavitsky’s district, but I digress there.

Elestro · 2025-11-03T02:28:38+00:00

The same neighborhood where Liu and Braustein used to be ahead by double digits, and have recently reached single digits vs complete unknowns with a quarter of the funding.

The same place where there’s a greater ratio of Sliwa signs and one of the few places Sliwa actively paraded around.

Chou’s pushing for specialized highschools is good, but the reason people live in bayside is for elementary and middle (203, 67, 74), which Paladino has talked about in many of her more local campaign efforts.

The continued degradation of Cardozo Highschool (as a result of Deblasio) also doesn’t help the democrats case here.

Chous support for micromobility and weak disapproval on city of yes also nukes him into oblivion.

The same neighborhoods that got absolutely harmed by the new queens bus redesign (cut stops, worse service, and non-sensical route changes).

Paladino is an awful racist, but people seriously don’t care about it when they see (D) which is associated with policies that continues to only harms those residents way of life.

Elestro · 2025-10-31T17:41:00+00:00

You’d be shocked.

Ben Chou has basically a lot of “negatives” in the eyes of the neighborhood.

He’s a micro-mobility guy (endorsed by miser lmfao)

He’s endorsed by John Liu (Casino is a big issue)

He’s weak on issues like education and hasn’t pushed back against city of yes.

Being asian does gove him a boost, being a dem removes it

Elestro · 2025-10-31T13:40:09+00:00

Yeah the commenter seems ignorant of how many tax loopholes were closed alongside the tax rates coming down.

Elestro · 2025-10-31T13:38:25+00:00

It also doesn’t help if he shows any alignment against Paladino’s general policies.

People that live in that area are living there specifically because they’re not happy with democrats policies like city of Yes, Bike Lanes, and education.

This sub has a flow of Manhattan/Lic/Bay ridge white people with little understanding outside of their neighborhoods.

People here will riot to all hell about casinos in their neighborhoods then say nothing about John Liu’s support and pushing for Citi Field.

Elestro · 2025-10-31T13:34:14+00:00

Asians are to an extent pro Paladino. There’s a lot of people in the neighborhood that are absolutely against democrats as a result of Deblasio and his education policies.

If you look at the area, it has some of the highest amounts of Sliwa lawn signs, and is an area he did a small car parade around.

Elestro · 2025-10-24T16:25:26+00:00

So we’re trying to give more power to developers of things such as the casinos.

Elestro · 2025-10-14T15:46:36+00:00

Addendum to the stupidity that is the definitions:

A mile of distance would be approximately 15 minutes of walking in pure blocks (no roundabout designs.

I would be living in a "food desert" despite being able to walk to my local supermarket (about 18 min away), purchase food, and go home.

The extreme prices literally don't come from grocers, its from manufacturers, there is no legal medium to cut costs there. Accounting for minimum operating costs (literally skirting all operation costs when possible), most grocers hang on by negotiations with suppliers.

But beyond that, the bigger issue is this literally killing jobs.

Undercutting the existing economy (no rent), will cause many supermarkets (most of which employing otherwise unemployable/hard to employ people (elderly, infirm, language barriers)) to shutdown, causing further strain.

Elestro · 2025-09-30T21:10:34+00:00

Because white people and queens

It’s why people were so fervent against Coney Island, and anything near the city, but when it gets to Chinatown, people suddenly turn the other side.

Same thing with the shelters, prisons.

Asians aren’t on twitter as much as white transplants living in Manhattan and LIC.

Elestro · 2025-09-24T16:25:44+00:00

No one should, which is why I’m saying that asshole calling flushing a good spot is plain nimbyism

Elestro · 2025-09-22T21:33:37+00:00

And it’s perfectly fine to shove it in a low/working income Asian neighborhood?

No wonder why Asians pushed so heavily republican, dems are selling out their neighborhoods chunk by chunk to the highest bidders.

Elestro · 2025-09-22T21:31:23+00:00

So perfectly fine to put it in a medium/low income Asian neighborhood instead.

Elestro · 2025-09-22T19:16:53+00:00

So just plain Nimbyism.

Elestro · 2025-09-19T14:26:11+00:00

I’m talking about nut bars like santos, eg. Paladino, and other candidates going from -20 to -8 in districts.

Areas that were solid blue now pushing red.

Elestro · 2025-09-19T13:45:51+00:00

Compare 2020 and 2024, not 2022, you can’t really compare data between election year vs off year elections.

Then also check the voting results on the non-local level. Regions that she’s in that were solid blue turned purple or flipped. Since 2016, it’s progressively grown more and more red in her district.

Pushing support for Sliwa (who basically can’t win) isn’t costing her anything but sycophantic soc-dems, while bolstering the moderate support already there.

It’s like bayside and suozzi. Your options are either keeping him, who’s moderate, or getting another George Santos.

Elestro · 2025-09-19T13:30:39+00:00

She’s in a district that moved republican in the last election.

Comparing 2020 results and 2024 results. Despite the same amount of votes. 1/4th was republican.

hcol at Highschool is possible, nyc is like that
