@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 .

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.
No, spare the new yorkers, murder the hipsters...

Gentrification has destroyed our once affordable beautiful city. I hate it.
