Is Sam Chang Developing a Hotel in Queens?

Today we got a comment from an upset homeowner who is pretty pissed off with Sam Chang's latest development plan.

Said homeowner writes:

Homeowner's in East Elmhurst, Chang's plan to put a hotel in the middle of our block. We are outraged! He has destroyed a dozen of trees, two homes, yards. We will put up a fight to save our homes that will be worth zero along with our quality of life. How will we protect our castles?

First, we had to take a second and locate East Elmhurst on a map. After finding it in Queens, we wondered why the heck Sam Chang would put up a hotel in Queens. But then again, this man and his McSam hotel group is throwing up hotels all over Manhattan and the outer boroughs and there's never been any rhyme or reason to his development goals. He's also not doing anything more than putting in a Holiday Inn or Comfort Inn.

(For a great tutorial on Chang, head to Curbed. After you read that article, google "Sam Chang" on the site. He's crazy!)

Anyways, if what he's doing in East Elmhurst is true then quick! Somebody build these people a moat.
