And inland Astoria is a pretty dense neighborhood. The development along the waterfront is only increasing the density. I don't see what's so bad with what's happening along the Brooklyn & Queens waterfronts (pretty much tons of 30-40 towers being planned everywhere).
The wait for the L train is terrible, and it's always a question of whether the line is in service or not. The chief problem with the G is also the wait time. They're awful.
