After I read your post I decided to go look because I KNOW I am registered there.
I have been reading your blog for quite a while now and I can’t see anything wrong with it as far as it being obscene in any matter or form.
What I am trying to say is that as far as language and obscenities go, next to me you’re an Angel.
I’m rude, lude and downright crude at times but there I was with

Walker:

What you say is oh so true. It's just funny the way things can go full-circle.

Aside from some poor being run out of their city apts to make room for wealthier tenants, there's been some disturbing eminent domain issues coming up around the country. Folks who own homes they've lived in all their lives are being forced out when the city decides to "develop" the area.

Here's a comment I got on Part 1 over at BlogCritics from the aptly named rabblerouser Arch Conservative:

"Why is it that every pretentious, superficial, liberal, NYT reading, New York city asshole thinks that the whole world revolves around their city and that the rest of us are just pining to make the trip to live there ourselves.

The fact is that the rest of us

Whoa, it's been awhile.
The Blog Explosion people are dicks and that’s all I am going to really say on that subject.
I had said more but I lost that comment.

I think it comes down to many factors.
I see it here.
The core of the city used to be cheap because people wanted to get away from the grime and crime in the inner city and moved to the suburbs.
The problem was

I love NY with all my heart. Could even see the fireworks from the park in my living room.

But New Years is a magical NY night, and I have to weigh the pros of staying in an overpriced hood--Upper West Side to somewhere else. Don't think that it could be another borough--tried it

I do become angry when I hear stereotypes of New Yorker's because so many of us identify so

Brink:

You said it, girlfriend! The typical Curbed commenters are snobbish, snyde, and downright nasty types. Many, of course, comment anonymously.

On a somewhat related note, I also discovered a lot of "bubble blogs" when I was digging into the real estate sites. These folks wrote with a fiendish glee about how America's economy was set to go down the toilet, and how real

Hi E and thanks for sharing such an interesting article.

However, I take issue with some of the opinions cited therein....

Im really put off by all the outright elitism, braggery and snobbery that I hear from so
many NYCity-ites. (Present company excluded)

Personally, I think its uncouth, and being prejudiced concerning other cities, people and areas around the

Al:

A carousel sounds way cool--and I predict that the weekends will be more abuzz soon, for better or worse. I'm also assuming that a lot of Wall Street bonus babies are looking to buy down there as well.

Don't know if this is exactly where you are, but I used to love to visit the World Trade area, and the Winter Garden in particular, which had those wonderful palm trees and

G:

I'm originally from Queens myself (Glen Oaks) and it was a nice atmo to grow up in.

I'm familiar with the Rego Park/Forest Hills area too. One of my uncles lived in Forest Hills, and I always loved to visit him. The area was so beautiful, and he had a lovely rose garden in the back that I used to love to explore.

My mom was a bridge fanatic, and she used to take me

I'm with G :-), these NY posts of yours have been great. And, G, my friends who live there there say that Rego Park is a terrific place to live and raise kids.

Up at 4:30 AM on 1/1/2007 (Happy New Year again, BTW), I suppose I'm one of those restless New Yorkers? I'm pretty sure that's not exactly wat you meant.

If you've ever been downtown, Elvira, you probably remember it as

I don't think New York will ever "be over" in the true sense of the phrase. Having said that, I can get enough of self proclaimed hipsters. After all, how cool are you if you are defining it by where you live and what you wear?

I live in Rego Park (actually in the Forest Hills side). We live in an attached home with a great backyard that's like a little forest. To me, this is our own
