I agree 100%... but can they just be like... normal buildings with normal apartments? Like this instead of this?
They're both roughly the same size with the same number of beds and baths, both condo units, but the new one with nicer finishes (and, tbf, a rooftop terrace) 14 minutes away from the last stop on the Astoria line (N, W) is $1.25m, while the one built in 2005 (not even old enough to vote!) with less nice finishes located one stop outside the city, within 5 minutes of 3 different stations with seven services (7, N, W, E, F, M, R) is $880k, 29% less.

"DINO" and especially "RINO" have been around and popular since waaaaaay before trump got into politics.

Downtown Flushing, yes, but colloquially people often refer to a much larger area surrounding it as Flushing as well with sub-neighborhoods like Murray Hill and Linden Hill. Just like how "Jamaica" is used to denote large swaths of Southeast Queens, "Flushing" is used to denote much of Northeast Queens, probably both a long-standing remnant of time when they were each one of the five Townships of Queens County.

"Justice Map" is a great tool to use for looking at neighborhood demographics, with data from the 2020 census (showing population percentages for major racial groups, median household income, and income change at the county/borough, tract, block group, and block levels)

Interesting... one would think that bale reform would be more of a hot-button among hay and alfalfa farmers than asian new yorkers... the more you know.

That would be difficult... but you can compare this map to http://www.justicemap.org/2020/index.php?gsLayer=plural&gfLon=-95.3&gfLat=39.6&giZoom=4&gsGeo=county&giAdvanced=1& which shows racial makeup (e.g. Latino, Non-hispanic White, Black, Asian, etc. but not specific ethnicities) and median household income at different levels of granularity (e.g. county/borough, tract, block group, block)

Well its not just any old jews though, its pretty much just the Hasidic jews voting Republican by big margins... otherwise the Upper West wouldnt be solidly blue.

Williamsburg north and south of (aptly named) Division Ave is two very different places. South of there is 85% to 95% Hasidic Jews depending on the block. And they tend to vote Republican by a HUGE margin. Same goes for the dark red areas in Boro Park, Crown Heights, etc.

Yep :/ it is in a condominium not a cooperative though, so whoever buys it can rent the apartment out whenever they want and sell it to whoever they want for however much they can get.
I mostly just like that its simply a regular old modest building that was built for normal people. You don't really see that anymore with new buildings, its all ostentatious luxury (or luxury appearing) buildings almost exclusively aimed toward highly-educated childless professionals and not a broader mix of people, often with unnecessary amenities and units that are over-sized and under-bedroomed.
