  • Queens Borough Board
    Queens Borough Board Expense and Capital Priorities Fiscal Year 2019 Preliminary Budget Melinda Katz Queens Borough President MELINDA KATZ (718) 286-3000 PRESIDENT web site: www.queensbp.org e-mail: [email protected] CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOROUGH OF QUEENS 120-55 QUEENS BOULEVARD KEW GARDENS, NEW YORK 11424-1015 March 13, 2018 To: The Mayor of the City of New York Members of the City Council Director of the Office of Management and Budget From: Queens Borough President Melinda Katz The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents1, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages2. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents represent nearly half of Queens’ population3. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city4. Yet, the immigrant population remains largely underserved, primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough5, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. At the same time, Queens’ communities are quickly outpacing the available housing stock. Already, Community District 3 is the most severely overcrowded Community District in the entire city; Community District 4 is the second most severely overcrowded6. Low-income households are left with few alternatives to living in overcrowded conditions.

  • Why Courses Fail
    WHY COURSES FAIL Poor management policies and entrenched attitudes by golf course officials, combined with public need and private profiteering, usually force the end of a golf course by DOUGLAS LUTZ Envious eyes view golf's open green spreads as territory fertile for acquisition. As seen by the public sector, those prime lands that green the urban landscape unjustifiably support the sporting activities of only a handful of people. Better use could be made of these acreages. They could produce the much-needed income to help fill local govern- ment coffers; help ease the housing shortage; expand crowded college facilities or provide more macadam rib- bons to relieve traffic clogged highways. Private needs give way to public concerns; the few must move over for the many. Again and again the same story is told. The vulnerability of the golfing community lies in the inherent conflict between the private and public sectors. Ex- pansion is an American obsession, belied by hypocritical sentiment. Educational institutions extol the ideal of an edu- cation for everyone while unceremoniously acquiring pre- cious greenswards. The corporation, with a little help from industrial park promoters, dangles the lure of more jobs and less taxes, and ends the life of yet another golf course. Housing contractors, mindful of the housing shortage, bull- doze a once-venerable course, and build houses too expen- sive for most Americans. Highway departments insist more roads are needed to ease traffic-choked highways; slash across a fairway, thus creating more traffic. To all these special interest groups, the golf course repre- lasted two years, and Orchard Hills was gone forever.
