Vivian Liu submitted a written testimony to the NY Community Advisory Committee as part of a hearing on the $8 billion Metropolitan Park casino proposal in Queens, New York. They describe how the development has the potential to displace over 50,000 renters in nearby Flushing and Corona neighborhoods. These two neighborhoods have high share of renters, especially those spending more than 50 percent of income on rent. Liu also highlights alternatives for land development, such as creating a community land trust, a park, and worker-owned small businesses.
