Obviously none of these communities is entirely one demographic or another; it is all a matter of degree. I think that some of the communities in Queens have become more changed than others. In particular I think that is true with Astoria and Hunter's Point, but primarily because of proximity to midtown Manhattan, much more so than cultural or social connections with Williamsburg or Greenpoint. On the other hand, I think that Maspeth is the least changed. While once it was relatively well-connected, today Maspeth is much more isolated (at least with respect to public transportation . . . well connected by highway with the L.I.E. bisecting its center!), and resistant to change. (I think there's more change in Ridgewood, and especially in Bushwick along the western part of Wyckoff Avenue), but all these communities--Maspeth, Ridgewood, Glendale, Middle Village--are among the slowest to change. Other places, Sunnyside and Woodside, are somewhere in the middle. East Elmhurst does not seem to be on the verge of change with respect to young professionals oriented towards Manhattan, so much as to the ever-changing immigrant communities that make up so much of Queens County. |
