A city that thrives on hype since how else could you trick people into willingly relocating to a filthy rat infested city.

I just looked it up and the very cheapest rent you can get for a studio apartment in Brooklyn is $1300 dollars a month. lol

"If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere." How about I don't even try making it where it's cold, expensive, and everybody is an rear end in a top hat. Also, Finacheludiabella's makes the best pizza. And Glubersteinburg's makes the best corned beef.

I stayed in Brooklyn for a few weeks a few years ago with a friend going to the new school for fashion design. I walked around a lot, drank beer from Duane Reade at 3 am, and went clubbing in manhattan with her. Brooklyn's nice if you're rich or living off loans and your parents' money and you're white and hopelessly bougie. Philly's better.

Brooklyn love is so obviously hype its silly. Every white person there only lives in Brooklyn because Manhattan is too expensive. So, to give themselves the feeling of being bad rear end, cool, urban, and trendy they hype up the third-rate urban sprawl that is Brooklyn. Sure, get enough desperate youth together and some are bound to make a good time out of it, but between the permanent financial difficulty, rampant drug culture (heroin's been making a big comeback), and cacophony of "me tooing," the denizens of Brooklyn are like any other neighborhood trying to syphon off the glory of a larger, better neighbor. Its gentrification at its worst. Millions of kids shouting "Brooklyn!" as though it stands for anything other than the working-class, family neighborhoods of minority or immigrant cultures that once breathed life into what is now a revolving door of overpriced realty for up and coming white people. Its the antithesis of culture when 80% of your population turns over every 2 years.

Uh, I'm white and my family's been in Brooklyn since 1812. There are tons of non-immigrant, non-hipster white neighborhoods in brooklyn and have been for centuries. You need to chillax with the casual racism against white people, especially since they've been there longer than any of the blacks or other misc. minorities.

Is the neighborhood they live in a traditionally __________ neighborhood? (Irish, Italian, Jewish, Immigrant, etc.) Are they working class? Brooklyn (without Manhattan) is the 4th largest city in the US. I'm pretty sure we can all find examples to disprove my post on the something awful.com forums. Also pretty sure that this thread is discussing a particular aspect of Brooklyn, its cultural significance, to which the millions of youth that rotate in and out of Brooklyn and laud it loudest seem a more topical subject for scrutiny.
