I was reading an article earlier about this area in Flushing called the Iron Triangle.  It’s basically a neighborhood of auto body shops and junkyards that looks like something straight out of a MadMax movie. 

I guess it’s kind of like that prostitute neighborhood in Korea that’s full of hookers, except instead of getting sex, here they fix wrecks.  Instead of getting blowjobs, you get paintjobs.  Instead of getting… well you get the point.

Anyway, there’s this redevelopment plan to fix that whole area into a place that’s visited by more than just carjackers and illegal aliens without insurance.  Now anyone with a normal brain in their skull would think that’s a good thing, right? 

Wrong.  There’s actually a group of people protesting against the redevelopment plan.  One of their biggest arguing points against it?

“[The] bread-and-butter customer base for the Iron Triangle’s auto body shops - undocumented drivers - has dried up due to an increased police presence in the area”

Just when I thought people couldn’t find anything else to bitch about.  Complaining about losing business because the cops scare away your illegal customers?

It’s like a drugdealer protesting that the housing project he’s selling his crack in is getting “cleaned up”.
