A fireball from a parked RV caused a blaze at the iconic GoodFellas Diner in Queens, prompting a quick response from 60 firefighters. The fire reignited discussions about the increasing number of illegal RVs in outer borough neighborhoods, as mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa highlighted the issues surrounding RVs, including crime and homelessness. He criticized City Hall for inaction and shared concerns about the situation affecting locals. The diner previously caught fire seven years ago, and Sliwa's remarks underscore the ongoing struggle with derelict vehicles in the area.
We were talking about all the RVs and debris in the garbage and the problems that come with this epidemic of RVs on the streets... and then boom!
There's no police response, no DOT response... you got campers parked on the lot of the Goodfellas Diner?!
If you go and you talk to them, you find out some of them are migrants, some of them are drug sellers, some of them are drug users, some of them just have no place to stay.
People are getting arthritis calling 311, and nothing is happening.
