That block has always been shady, particularly in the middle. Anyhow the 36th avenue corridor is not considered prime Astoria and was always low brow even when I was a kid. You can call it the ‘Kaufman Arts District’ or whatever other fashionable left-wing term you desire but its still a crappy area aesthetically and demographically.

In the ever-evolving landscape of New York City, the need for thoughtful urban planning has never been more critical. As we look to the future, it’s clear that neighborhood rezoning offers a more comprehensive and beneficial approach compared to individual rezoning requests for specific projects.
