That's BS, QBLVD is decent or passable the whole way through
The real trash is Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn, awful - just awful
Whats so bad about Atlantic ave? A good portion of it west of Flatbush goes through Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill and even the elevated section is not that bad, compared to some other ELs. Its only really bad in the middle.

I did mention the Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill part as the exception but I think the rest of it is indeed pretty ugly.
Queens Blvd actually uses the best els solution in the city. Between the bridge and 48th street the whole thing is re-enforced concrete with nice wide arches below and some pedestrian areas, although mostly parking. You don't get the noise of steel elevated tracks and it's very liveable
We have the same set-up in my neighborhood, the El is concrete and some of it underneath is for pedestrians only.

Astoria Blvd throughout East Elmhurst, Atlantic Avenue from Washington Avenue all the way East, White Plains Road between Rhinelander Avenue and Bronxdale Avenue, all of Rockaway Blvd, Jerome Avenue from 167th Street to Fordham Road, the entirety of Broadway in Brooklyn, Liberty Avenue all the way through....
You guys may think I'm crazy, but Knickerbocker and Graham Avenues get my vote. Both of those avenues just look soooo old....you cant tell if its 2021 or 1921 minus the cars...at this point all I want to see is contemporary styles built
