That’s my thing, these transplants aren’t romanticizing authentic NYC culture or people, they’re romanticizing the white women they saw on TV (e.g. Sex & The City, Girls) that were also transplants. Like how you living your best Carrie Bradshaw life, if you in Brooklyn?!? 😅 They move into neighborhoods for trends and aesthetics, instead of respectfully assimilating into communities with aligned cultural values. They are forcing us to experience the same mundane lifestyle they think they’re running away from in their hometowns. The craziest part is they’re erasing everything while simultaneously cosplaying the native New Yorkers they displace.

Born & raised in the Bronx, I barely go into manhattan anymore. It is the influencer playground that nightmares are made of

As a native New Yorker, growing up here was the best but so many things changed that made me shift what I wanted. Everyone keeps moving here and shocked at the reality. It’s just not the same city I grew up in.

I was 20 in 1994 when I moved to Brooklyn from L.A, and you're late. Brooklyn in the 90's to around 2005 was amazing and affordable

Why don’t ppl try to make it cool again? I don’t get why everyone complains but does nothing to change the environment. These cities were cool bc the ppl made it so. What’s stopping us now?

He’s wrong please move to NEW YORK and romanticize it like I did. People are coming here all over the world. Listen to the accents and it’s our backyard. New Yorkers are jaded & don’t know what they have - the Knicks games had the city electric
