    Regular readers may have noticed that our attention occasionally drifts to our neighbor to the North. We think this is justified by the fact that, of all the boroughs, Queens is probably the most comparable and viable alternative for most Brooklynites, both in terms of affordability and ambience. So we were interested to read in one of the many Metros that littered our subway station this morning that 25 new buildings are slated to rise in Long Island City over the next 5 years. Seems like a lot for the neighborhood whose ascent has been predicted for the last 25 years but has never quite materialized. Maybe it’s time has come.
