Douglaston's City Council Rep is Vickie Palladino (R). The Congressional Rep is George Santos (R). John Lie and Toby Nizic rep on the state level and aren't exactly DSA firebrands.

Hochul could have started by focusing on any number of places, yet she chose one of the few places in NYC with considerable Republican representation.

She didn't "start" in a specific Republican district. It's not just Douglaston-Bayside. The plan rezones around commuter rail access. Because high density zoning makes logical sense where there is public transit access.

Is that why they're up zoning in Throggs Neck, which is a moderate/Conservative bastion over in the Bronx? There's not even infrastructure or mass transit there, but sure, yeah, whatever.../s
