How do you recover from an enormous loss, especially something as incomprehensible as the murders of your mother, brother and young nephew?

The face of Queens is getting older, as is the rest of New York City. Fortunately, a wide range of both public and private services exists for the “gray market.”

At a mostly cordial town hall in Bayside Monday evening, Mayor Bill de Blasio fielded pointed questions on quality-of-life issues in northern Queens and worked to connect them to his administration’s housing affordability push, especially for seniors.

Many elderly New Yorkers want the City Council to pass Mayor Bill de Blasio’s controversial rezoning plan as is because they “don’t have time” to wait for a long bureaucratic process to play out amid a housing crisis for seniors.

City Councilman Daniel Dromm presented a check for almost $300,000 to the “Naturally Occurring Retirement Community” program in Jackson Heights Wednesday.

By 2030, older New Yorkers will account for an estimated 20 percent of New York City’s population; yet the capacity to accommodate them in appropriate housing is severely limited.
