"Boring, dirty, inconvenient"

Biggest problems: (1) public transportation is completely unreliable -- you're stuck with #7 train, the #32 bus, or the #60 bus, and all three suck. I struggle to get to work in Manhattan everyday, and many weekends there's track work, so you're stranded or forced to take the excruciatingly slow bus, if it ever shows up; (2) parking is impossible, and there's only one garage, which raises its rates by 10-20% every year, so you have to rely on the unreliable public transportation; (3) traffic on the Queensborough Bridge is epic; (4) no decent grocery stores; (5) most restaurants close way too early.
Pros
  • Affordable rents
Cons
  • Close to Manhattan but still can take up to an hour to get there because the #7 train is awful
  • Cabs are hard to come by
  • The commercial area around Queen's Boulevard is quite grotty
  • Nightlife consists mainly of Irish pubs and can be a bit boring
  • graffiti
  • Streets can be very dirty
