No toddlers involved. It was, however, 9:30 PM, so early enough that people totally uninvolved could have been walking back from the train.BestViewInBrooklynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00020026181975097401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880985812663664693.post-1592816847004555082008-06-04T21:49:00.000-04:002008-06-04T21:49:00.000-04:00Thank you for the laugh!!!Kapitalisthippiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14362088846678496300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880985812663664693.post-19508769288762780692008-06-04T18:27:00.000-04:002008-06-04T18:27:00.000-04:00keep it coming, man. this is the funniest post yet -- cos it's snappy. and also cos I can feel the energy of you sparring with us. keep 'em focused, brotherman. less is more.Mikeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880985812663664693.post-60030768811552909902008-06-04T16:50:00.000-04:002008-06-04T16:50:00.000-04:00How can you hate on complaining when said complaints are so witty and culturally relevant?!<BR/><BR/>PS: Sunset Park aint easy, Emily! 3 people got shot in January at TACOS2004VIVAMEXICO restaurant right by my house.

Respect! And I believe you are black. Respect!<BR/><BR/>Would just like to respond to some of your posts, to reaffirm that you are not screaming into the void and that someone is listening to your specific concerns:<BR/><BR/>A) <I>How can you earn $106K a year and not afford to live in Park Slope...</I><BR/><BR/>The answer is, well, $106K a year equates to about $2800 or so per pay check after taxes and all that. So if you get around $2800 roughly 2X per month, you see where you end up if your RENT ALONE is $3500. What about eating out? Your iPhone? Going on vacation? Your Original Penguin or whatever it is you wear?<BR/><BR/>Of course, your question isn't really economic. It's more like philosophical and moral. <I>What is wrong with the universe?</I> And it is called gentrification take two. You, me and other working stiffs are being pushed out by the lawyers and VP's... Folks who are willing to work until their eyeballs are bleeding and who never see their kids because they're traveling all the time or working until 7:30PM. It's sad, of course, because that means all the Park Slope places you love will be full of these standoffish dissatisfied looking stay-at-home moms sporting like 3 carats on their ring fingers and stuff. <BR/><BR/>But of course, you know this. As you yourself said, you pushed out the working class. And now you, the middle-class, are being pushed out...<BR/><BR/>Being part of the middle class myself (and it is sickening that a 6-figure income can make you middle class in NYC), I feel it's tragic and embittering, too. I mean, why couldn't those douchebags and their Cayennes and Touaregs stay in Manhattan? Isn't Manhattan enough? Damn! <BR/><BR/>But apparently, it ain't.<BR/><BR/>Ever think of moving out of the chitty?feelin unoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880985812663664693.post-58657478873950720462008-06-04T09:56:00.000-04:002008-06-04T09:56:00.000-04:00How much Yiddish is enough to be dangerous?

This way I can set your RSS feed on fire and wash my eyes out with clorox first.

That would make for sick entertainment.

You just plain make a shit ton more money than I do, neighbor, so I will save my tears for somebody else. Like the kid I can't afford to have. You should consider yourself incredibly lucky and blog about your blessings - I only wish it was as easy as moving to Sunset Park. But poor me - at least I can eat. And use the internet. But I'm jut saying - why not be happy that you do make enough to buy something somewhere - six figures means nothing in Bay Ridge? or Queens? it's sad that it doesn't mean much in Park Slope, but you are so far from poor. You have a world of choices. Garfield St.not being one of them hardly means you're doomed.emilynoreply@blogger.com
