All of Brooklyn is actually either called Red Hook or Ozone Park. The rest of it is just shit realtors made up.

I think Times writers just really don't get that there might not actually be enough upper middle class white people who want to live in the city to fill the entire city with upper middle class white people.

Or that at some point some of them tend to say "fuck it I'm going to live in Bergen County" instead of going way the fuck out to Canarsie or w/e.

Clearly, the Bronx's reputation still suffers from the fact that it is the only borough that's identified with a felony in the theme song of Car 54, Where Are You?.

Aimless, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:23 (thirteen years ago)

step 1 in rebranding: change name back to "The Broncks' Farms"

I think the Bronx will slowly but surely get more yuppies but the population ratio is not change fast enough for mayonnaise shops or whatever to be viable anytime soon. it's not even relatively that cheap cause there are lots of people who do want to live there, just most of them aren't white.

iatee, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:31 (thirteen years ago)

Why does not white people never want to mayonnaise?

du. duplass. duplass mich. (goole), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:32 (thirteen years ago)

like if I could get some studio for $700, sure I'd move to the bronx, buy some mayo

iatee, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:33 (thirteen years ago)

I dunno. Median incomes in the city have been falling and the finance industry is probably due for more layoffs in the next year or two even barring another legit collapse, which is itself possible. I think gentrification might be making its last big push for a while. I think it's even possible the borders will recede a little.

I never noticed until know that there's a part of the bronx called "Morrisania". That's a p cool name imo.

I think you underestimate how quickly a bad economy and rising crime could change peoples' minds about the new urban lifestyle.

OTOH I guess the trend of people staying single longer might increase the supply of city dwellers.

crime is already rising!

lag∞n, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:46 (thirteen years ago)

the worst economy in nearly 100 years hasn't made NYC any less safe. the gentrification narrative is mostly make believe to begin w/. the bronx is already (relatively) safe and already (relatively) expensive and that's before the mayo crew arrived.

iatee, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 16:47 (thirteen years ago)
