I do think that the group is a little clumsy but at least they are fighting for the neighborhood.
I agree. I personally wish that they would fight/put their energy towards more constructive things. For example, it looks like they are the main backers/supporters of Centro Corona, which is a community center for youth. They also fight to protect street vendors. I have mixed feelings on the latter, but I would argue that both are examples of where QNU puts their energy towards positive change.
This constant animosity towards Target, Sunnyside Yards, etc., in my opinion is not a positive use of their time. How about they start contributing to solutions to some of the real issues we face - trash, criminal activity on Roosevelt, lack of youth programs, helping the community through career counseling, etc.? Oh right...they don't want gentrification. So they'd prefer to fight not to have anything change.
You know they actually said in opposition to Amazon that "these jobs are not for us?" That is such TWISTED logic when you think about it. Why wouldn't a youth from the neighborhood be eligible for a corporate (or other) job? I seriously did not like their message after that - so negative.
