for some reason, you seem to think jackson heights has no south asian residents.
or, perhaps, that no white, black, latin, korean, eskimo or samoan people shop at these establishments.
you've spewed your veiled racism a number of times and then run off, tail between your legs, saying 'oh, golly gee, i didn't say anything specific.'
you're tiresome, and not very worthwhile.
if you don't want to live in a neighborhood with 'certain ethnic' merchants with 'certain ethnic' behaviors as you see them, perhaps tottenville is more your speed?
sorry, just sick of this.
There are many merchants in other neighborhood to form BID and hire sanitation workers to keep their area clean.
and if more residents are actually shopping in that area, it could build good relationship between merchants and community.
but in our case, the merchants are specifically selling products for shoppers from outside Jackson Heights.
They rejected to keep their store front clean despite the community's request.
Therefore, it gives us an impression that those merchants just comes to our neighborhood and make money and leave the mess.
