"Today, Astoria is more up-scale than Jackson Hgts."

I wonder if the fact that JH is now inhabited by illegal, third world immigrants while Astoria is inhabited by legal, European immigrants has anything to do with this?
WRONG! Astoria these days is a mixture of legal Brazillian, Indian, and Egyptian immigrants, along with young professionals who have been priced out of Manhattan. I myself don't find Eurotrash to be superior. Jackson Heights main problem is with the illegal Mexicans spilling over from Corona.
