Subject: yuppies

Wow, I love reading posts like this, they get the blood cookin! I guess the only thing to do is go get a nice frapp at Strabucks after work! If you don't like the way the neighborhood has change, move or adjust. It's pretty simple really. But one thing is for certain, no one wants a crabby bastard living nearby (directed to the OP), no matter the neighborhood!

Subject: hipster yuppies are not really to blame...

it is the greedy landlords and they are business people, trying to make money, like you or i, and if you had property, would you only want to get $400-$600 per apartment when you can get $2000 and up? how would you be if the tables were turned?

as my dad says, "it is what the market will bear". it is unfortunate that NYC is such a desirable place to live. all that clean air and quality of life.

what is really sad about gentrification is the mom & pop shops can no longer afford the rents so you get cel phone stores and starbucks and the gap and lose the cultural corners of different neighborhoods that used to define/add to its diversity.

"... unfortunate that NYC is such a desirable place to live. all that clean air..."

Uh, duh, an analysis by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finds New York City's air to be the dirtiest in the United States, with Manhattan residents facing the highest risk in the country of developing cancer from chemicals in the air. The numbers produced by this analysis show that the risk of developing lung cancer due to particulate matter is three times the national average in Manhattan.

And, New York city ranks second in the nation in regard to the percentage of income needed to pay for urban housing - 20% (2005).

I think guest 1234 was being sarcastic about clean air...but if you want to breathe clean air...

it's true that the housing market here is skewed because wealthy people from all over the world do want a place in manhattan, even if they don't live here.

BTW, LTT, what's first in the nation for housing cost?

Hehehe, I'm from the Midwest. I live in Park Slope though, Windsor Terrace is not yuppie enough for me.

Ever attempt to get to know some of the "fuckin piece of shit mid western scumbags" you are so quick to hate? And why would you be mad people would want to move out of the Midwest. Maybe you might want to try living somewhere else for a change... NYC is supposed to be about tolerance; with you're hate-ridden attitudes, it sounds to me like you're better suited for the Midwest "red-states" than you are for liberal NY. Look at the way people here vote, perhaps it is YOU who's not wanted.
And also, for all the bitching people like you do about how much they hate their neighborhoods, you can always move. You have that freedom. I think you should use it.

You make me laugh.

while you yuppies and hipsters are at it. please take your money back cause you guys are way over paying for rent and everything else in the area. and making a butt load of money for the landlords. also take the services that came with you guys. i want to see the old park slope. where it was run down and lack of stores and restaurants.

hahaha, nice. and if the Anti-Midwest comment was satire, even nicer!
Either way, I'm still laughing

laura

I moved to the Slope in 1992 (after having moved to Manhattan from the MIDWEST in 1985) and I recall the uproar when Barnes & Noble started moving in. Lordy, it was the end of the world ... much bitching and sighing of "no other bookstore will be able to survive", "this has always been the kind of neighborhood where you know everybody, now all that will be gone" etc.

fMan, you idiots make it seem like park slope was like the South Bronx circa 1980.. No, it was a good place to live. There were plenty of regular stores and places to eat here before the great gentrification. You know what the problem is? You folks like restaurants where you can eat your tomato on a bed of lettuce, while sitting at a table on the sidewalk with you thumb up you ass! Because there weren’t enough posh eats around you called it "run-down" STFU! You make me laugh. you say "ohh but there was higher crime in Pk Slope before we came along" yes there was.. Crime was higher ALL OVER THE CITY in the eighties and nineties. If you dimwits were around back then maybe you have remembered that. A lot of the crime drop has to do with the fact that there’s a million more cops on the street. Talking about the terrible drug dealers that were around prospect park and wherever. I got news for you, there’s still drug dealing going on! only difference is the coke is being delivered the parents who own those brownstones while the kids buy weed from there friends parents. All I see is shaggy haired brats walking dazed into smilies pizza with a bad case of munchies. Oh, but it’s not crack so it’s ok.

You need to check your attitudes..cuz you didn’t make anything better.

This is kind of repetitive of me, sorry. But we live in the biggest real estate market in the country. Everywhere within 2 hours of NYC is overpriced. It's because it's a status thing to have a place in manhattan, so if you're the corn king of kansas, you buy a place in the city, and it just spreads out from there. It's just the market. You seem to like to throw around insults OG, but it's just the market so of course you'll get squeezed if you can't keep up. People are moving to brooklyn because manhattan is too expensive.

and weed is definitely better for you than crack.
