My friends recently dropped a couple of hundred thousand for a down payment there, but no way in hell would they qualify for the low income apartments that they are subsidizing.

Extend Crescent street to Euclid Avenue, that's more or less the official border.

I think for Flushing the plan is for tons more high rise development with a lot of density. There are a lot of blocks of single family or low rise structures they want to get rid of, it's more to make developers happy.

I think the mayor's plan is to include affordable housing in the stretch of warehouses on College Point. I know for sure many of the building owners are waiting for rezoning to build condos. I met a guy who owned close to an entire block of property including the building housing the strip club on college point and that's what they're waiting for. But I wouldn't think they'd be up for building low income housing. Most of those people just want to unload their properties at extremely high profits and the only way to do that is to sell high priced condos. They also seem patient and would outlast any efforts by the current adminstration to tell them what they can or cannot do with their properties.

When I was a kid Crescent St. (the supermarket and gas station on liberty)was the border for Cityline since the Conduit created a barrier to the area west of it but now-a-days I see real estate listing west of the Conduit around the Euclid ave. trains stop as located in Cityline. Even so most people wouldn't say "I live in Cityline" if they live in the side streets or more than a block from Liberty, Cityline is usually just the commercial strip along Liberty ave. so people would say "I live near Cityline"

you're talking east to west, I was talking west to east. When I was saying it I was picturing myself driving east on Linden. Either way, I would still keep it at Crescent Street.

My parents use to say the same thing when we use to live on 101 Avenue in Ozone Park near the Brooklyn border.
