RE: Queens and overdevelopment- sounds like they mostly polled homeowners, who care about their property values and generally don't give a crap about affordable housing. In fact, they'd probably prefer for the housing to be as expensive as possible so they can clean up when they sell.

Strange that crappy subway service doesn't rate, especially in the outer boroughs. I guess the perceived nosedive in daytime reliability is too recent, having just occurred this spring. But man, late-night subway service is the biggest detriment to *my* QOL. (Ah, I go read the chart and it's obvious - the study asked people to rate fixed categories on a scale of 1 to 7. The only transit option is "lack of public transit," not exactly the same thing as reliability. AND they only asked 600 people.)

This makes me wonder about some of my fellow Queens residents. They're concerned about "growth"? They're also concerned about "overdevelopment"? I hope these aren't the same people complaining about the "lack of affordable housing".
