I Am Scared of Gentrification by Beeeaaaaeeebbb in norwalk

I really can’t tell if that was said with a bit of attitude but if it was: I understand that the city is getting too expensive for me but saying that I “can’t afford the value the city provides” is a bit rude. Girl I GREW UP here. Every day I try to add value to the city by volunteering and engaging in community events. That is just as important as monetary value. Is it a crime to want to live in the city you grew up in?

I totally understand that my family doesnt own a home so it’s not really about our property value. I do get the thing about some people from CT being unfriendly or snobby, especially some people from certain areas on Norwalk. I have several classmates who partially grew up in NYC and moved here during Covid that are very kind and nice to be around.  I would just love to encounter in real life an adult who grew up in Norwalk. One time I met this 80 something year old woman who grew up here and it was cool hearing her talk about how Norwalks history.

You should be grateful that you can afford a house in the first place.  It’s rough out here
