NYC Releases Awesome Plan for Downtown Flushing; Queens's Remaining 'White People' Plan to Flee City

Check out this rendering of Flushing Commons, a newly announced plan for the Downtown Flushing neighborhood of Queens: http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/gif/2005/flushing_commons.jpg. . If they actually build it, it will replace the parking structure where my mom and I would leave the car to go shopping when I was small. With the combined influence of Asian and Asian-American business and architecture, plus the City's support, Downtown Flushing will soon surpass Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City (that's in Queens) as on of the City's premiere business locales, third only to unsurpassable Midtown Manhattan and Downtown Manhattan.

If the City's tandem plans to build a new Mets stadium nearby and develop oil-drenched scrapyards along the polluted Flushing River come to fruition, beautiful waterfront parks will unite Flushing and Corona. The Hispanics and Asians, the clear heirs of the city, will be geographically united for the first time. Terrified of change, more white people (including my parents) will flee crying to the suburbs (including Florida, Pennsylvania, and Maine).
