A restaurateur in Forest Hills, Paul Singh, reports devastating losses due to MTA construction disrupting his business. The project's massive fence has hidden his restaurants, White Radish and Daikon Sushi Bar, creating a chaotic environment that has driven away customers and left him financially strained. Singh's attempt to set up outdoor dining is stifled by a portable toilet placed outside his establishment, further ruining the dining experience and deterring patrons. He describes the toll it has taken on his mental health and familial security, revealing the profound impacts of urban construction on small businesses.
"I've lost my mental peace. This has destroyed my lifestyle and put my family in financial crisis and security. I can't sleep. I have so much on my head."
"The MTA's construction is totally destroying the plan I put so much money into for outdoor dining, and I have little room left to operate."
