Brooklyn, New York

Anyway my ideal Brooklyn dream home used to be a bungalow in Ditmas Park but I've worked in South Bk for 5 years and I fucking hate all of it. Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights--if it's not full of immigrants, it can go die in a fire. Imo the white ethnic middle-class in Brooklyn has two generations to immigrate from wherever they came from, assimilate into American whiteness, and get the fuck out. They all want to live in the suburbs anyway. Take your offensively huge SUV death machines and move far away where you can find parking at the mall and stop producing the overwhelming majority of the NYPD who go into the force already racist enough to shoot non-white ppl practically on sight.

Whew! I feel better now. That harangue is almost Morbs-like in its irrational hatred and I feel like I've really accomplished something. :D

My bf often does work for richie rich ppl in Bk Hgts and it's depressing what they are willing to pay to fix dumb shit that they broke or their dogs chewed on or their drunk kids' friends' trashed during a party

Rich people overpaying for stuff is a justified, if grossly inadequate, form of wealth redistribution.

I just had to look up a map of brooklyn again to see how close these south bk neighborhoods were to Staten Island.

Yes.

sheepshead bay is convenient to various beaches, has several world-class sandwich shops, very pleasant main drag, airport-adjacent-adjacent. sheepshead bay is the new bushwick you heard it here first

but also somewhat similar to parts of central and eastern queens xp

i think i might move to manhattan. i have been looking at brooklyn apartments with my partner and despairing at the rents -- especially in the neighborhoods we know and like. and yesterday, on that zillow map, i moved my cursor over to the west village and found out that it is barely more expensive there.

my brother wants us to move to bed stuy near him. but i'm just not convinced.

i would really like to move to like, wyoming or somewhere but alas

Queens

Oakland

I love the pockets of emptiness and the long blocks in Williamsburg and greenpoint

But to live it would be either Bk Heights or pk Slope

What pickets of emptiness? What year is that post from?

Queens

I also think about pockets of emptiness and long blocks in wburg and gpoint but those were also the areas I could easily park at the time.

or maybe he's talking about the long blocks of all residential and industrial.

Hey queens guys: take it to the q thread. This is a b thread.

I just think if you like New York and you like Brooklyn it seems silly to think about moving to Wyoming instead when there’s queens. I had dinner in Brooklyn tonight, it didn’t even taken very long to get home.

I felt bad about driving in ny but it was so much easier between queens and brooklyn.

i was just looking at the weather in wyoming. not good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Left house for the first time in 16 days and went to Shirley Chisholm Park and it was really cool. Almost totally empty. Bunch of cool birds.
