I don't really know though because I moved to Queens which is totally awesome and pay way less than everybody I know in brooklyn for a way bigger space.

You can live in Bensonhurst okay but you won't be anywhere near the things that make you want to live in Brooklyn.

in my case there aren't any left, so i should consider it
i spend essentially an hour commuting each way for what's sposed to be a 'short' commute. ALL the trains suck shit.

i hate nyc, every fucking thing about it. the people especially.
Actually Bill maybe you would like it. If you live on the N, it's a pain in the ass unless you work within walking distance of a Manhattan stop but it's a fast train, powers express through almost all of Brooklyn. Bensonhurst is really nice and quiet and suburban or like Jackson Hgts or something.

lots of good eastern european food down there in bensonhurst i would think
― ้พ, Sunday, 28 February 2016 15:14 (eight years ago) link
I hate going there but that's because of the white political and community power structures, and the time is worse for me because I'm reverse commuting at rush hour. But if you can stay in an immigrant neighborhood, enjoy the food and stores and street life, and not have to deal with people who scream racist slurs and complain openly about new New Yorkers taking "their" schools, homes, etc, it would probably be fine.

i very likely wd go to Jax Hts (if i found anything affordable) or adjoining nabes before the Bklyn boonies.
The Times Real Estate sec... WHY do i look at it? Brad and Margaret from Park Slope bought a fixer-upper in SUNSET PARK WEST (yes, it's been split now), and they are renting out the ground floor unit for $1900 / month.

maybe this shit is super obvious/old, but a friend just pointed out to me the irony of people eating only organic food, refusing to use hygiene products with "toxins" etc. while living on the gowanus canal.

what's life like in suburbia? i have never heard anyone rate it highly here in the city.
― ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ (caek), Tuesday, 30 August 2016 14:15 (seven years ago) link
i think where i live is more accurately categorized as "college town" or maybe "small city" i did (partially) grow up in suburbia tho and its p boring i guess not too much going on and even that was "inner suburb" with public transpo, bordered the big city and so forth

lots of nice houses and trees tho, high achieving teens

At 7 DeKalb, a new 23-story tower atop the City Point mall complex, the landlord is offering two months of free rent with a 14-month lease, and use of the buildingโs fitness center and other amenities for a year without charge. That means a one-bedroom, one-bathroom place can be had for $3,428 a month
This is not even remotely my price range and doesn't do ANYTHING for my housing market.
