I am always excited to go to film festivals, being able to watch five different films on friday was a great experience. Although all five films were very well presented, The BQX film was my personal favorite. This film taught me so much that I didn't hear on the daily news. While I was watching the film I was shocked at everything being presented in it. I'm from Long Island City, not being aware of this project is completely unfair because if it did happen I personally will be very affected by it. In the past few years Long Island City has been expreme gentrified, rents were raised and people were kicked out. To hear about the BQX just scares me so much, how much more will we have to pay? How much could we really afford if most of us live in the projects. Their next project could be taring those projects down. The BQX is presented at a 40 billion dollar plus project, the fact that it will be on the water line will cause both Queens Bridge and the Astoria Projects to get torn down. Like the woman from the Astoria Projects said how many people from Queens  actually go to Brooklyn or the Bronx. The answer is not many, those people need more bus services rather than a speed train. They have not even mentioned the cost of the fair on the BQX. It's cost could equal an hour of work for some people PLUS the higher rents for people who will not be using it because they have no need to travel to these places. I've learned a lot from this film and I will definitely take action.
