Beyond the Skyline: A Look at Northwest Queens' Thriving Neighborhoods
The neighborhoods of Long Island City, Sunnyside and Woodside in northwest Queens have their own distinct personalities, but together they are contributing to the borough’s business growth, share of the population employed, median household income and new housing, according to a report from Comptroller DiNapoli. The report on the local economies in this section of northwest Queens, which is based on data from within the boundaries of Community District 2, is the latest in DiNapoli’s series of New York City neighborhood profiles.
“These diverse neighborhoods have grown economically over the past decade and experienced relatively strong household incomes, moderate poverty levels and increased business activity and housing supply,” DiNapoli said. “There is a strong immigrant population in this section of Queens and it is helping lead the borough’s revitalization. While there is a lot of positive progress to cheer for, challenging issues like the high cost of housing persist. It’s my hope that this report will be an asset that local leaders and community stakeholders can use as they continue their efforts to ensure these are great neighborhoods to live, work and go to school in.”

Comptroller DiNapoli: Shutdown Hurts New York Economy, Families, and Businesses
Comptroller DiNapoli Opposes Musk's "Excessive" Pay
Comptroller DiNapoli, trustee of the New York State Common Retirement Fund, announced that the Fund will vote against Elon Musk’s proposed 2025 pay package and all directors standing for reelection at Tesla Inc.’s Nov. 6, 2025, Annual Meeting, and will encourage other investers to do the same.
“Elon Musk’s latest trillion-dollar pay proposal is excessive, waters down the holdings of other shareholders, and gives a captive board unwarranted discretion. Musk’s significant stake in Tesla has failed to focus his attention on the company. Now, despite these distractions, Tesla proposes to reward Musk, currently one of the richest men in the world, with another unprecedented pay package. We have long opposed Musk’s excessive compensation proposals, and this package continues the troubling pattern of prioritizing him over the interests of every other Tesla shareholder."
