  • @monkeyturds23 You only moved here because you heard it was "hip". Driving me out may not be your intention but that's exactly what you're doing.

  • @pendragon1717 I've lived here all my life and the fact that greenpoint has become a nicer, cleaner, and safer neighborhood is great. But look at it from this perspective: what's the point of all that if I won't be able to afford to live here soon? It has its pros and its cons. Pros for the wealthier and cons for the poorer.

  • Who wants luxury condos, a nice entertainment district, fine dining, and a peaceful community of law abiding citizens? Much better to live in a crack infested ghetto, filled with gang-bangers, drive by's, crumbling buildings and vacant store fronts. Yeah, that's fucking paradise!! LOL

  • I grew up on Long Island and recently moved to Greenpoint to be closer to work. I am viewed as one of these people that should "get out of your neighborhoods." I understand this sentiment, but what must be understood is the fact that many young people aka "hipsters" are also disgusted with the high rise apartments going up everywhere. I am struggling to pay rent too. I am lumped in a category as a transplant who is ruining your neighborhood. That's not my intention, I'm just trying to live .

  • Hi all, im doing a project on Gentrification in Greenpoint, if anyone else has any strong opinions on this matter, please reply to this post and it would be very helpful. Thanks!

  • Oh god, please wake me up from this nightmare! :'(

  • @guitarshredder920

    lol. wait...what if i'm not rich? : /

  • @BabyGirlGoddess NO you stay were you are from. We don't need anymore fucking yuppies here in Brooklyn.

  • i really wanted to live in NYC, but i visited once and it felt as if it lost its "flavor" that is often portrayed on t.v. i was expecting something with culture, arts, graffiti...

  • @Ytaittdsas Let me explain, "your wonderful city" was a sarcastic comment. Sorry you didn't get it.
