State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has released a western Queens snapshot, highlighting how the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Woodside and Sunnyside are simultaneously experiencing economic growth and an ongoing affordability crisis.
In the new report, DiNapoli noted that the three neighborhoods have distinct personalities but said all three areas are contributing to the borough’s business growth, median household income and new housing. However, the report further notes that such economic growth has fostered an ongoing affordability crisis that threatens to push out long-term residents.
