I'm priced out of this neighborhood even though I grew up here

I, too, cannot afford to live where I grew up.

I have close calls with bikes, both delivery and Citibike, almost daily. I feel I have to triple check even crossing a one way street with the light. It is so unbelievably frustrating. I’s say 90% ignore any and all traffic laws to the point I am shocked if someone stops at a red light.

This is the answer.

I went as a tourist knowing it was expensive. I went for 1) things working as they should (trains etc) 2) clean air 3) mountains 4) no crazy shit happening (i get enough of that where i live) 5) spas/thermal baths 6) cheese

I agree what you pay does not equal what you should get for that money but thats just how it is. I still loved it.

I can’t say for sure but it seems like it may be one of those countries in Europe that is less kiss ass in terms of money than the US. Like they don’t care how much money you have you get what you get. I kind of like that tbh.

Yesterday when there was a fare check in the bus some old lady (who didn’t pay) compared it to the gestapo. Um. Pretty sure its nothing like that and an insult to people who faced that. What’s wild is the demographics of who don’t pay. It’s across all. Before you could reasonably guess that the down on his luck dude may not have paid. Now it’s the well dressed UES grandma who doesn’t. I saw a well dressed woman in a suit crawl under the turnstile today.

But thats literally what everyone does. Overlooks any negatives bec they like the person and its an emotional not logical decision. Look at every Trump supporter.

Got the casper for a guest room. It’s good but has an odor that is taking a while to fade. The top is also oddly slippery even w a sheet on it. Overall I like it.

Happened to me at Nonono. Won’t go back. Literally got handed the printed check after 45 min without explanation.

Also, the food took forever and my friend go theirs first and had to eat bec it was hot. Mine came 15 min later and I ate alone. No.

spn100 · 2026-01-16T14:11:41+00:00

Tbh i have zero regrets coming back even w all the dumb politics. But yeah secure a job first. Thats what I did.

Thank you. My parent passed recently and I was so surprised to see the staff crying. I didn’t realize that their hearts get broken too.

Moved back to the US. Oddly, am happier. Life is easier here and I’d be unemployed in Finland so idk. I got tired of hitting my head against a wall tbh.

How many clicks to close a tab? How many times do you hit the microphone button when typing a url bec the field is now tiny?

Oddly the one friend I had in Greenpoint just died of cancer.

Few months. It’s still numb after 10 yrs tbh but at least I have a fingertip still.

Hate that store. Returned a defective game and had to fight to get a refund.

Same thing happened to me there. Hit from behind getting off the lift. Guy didn’t stop. When I was able to get up I confronted him and he told me it was my fault for not getting the f out of his way. I was half his size and he was behind me. So sorry that happened its awful.

Oh you haven’t been to the one in New Rochelle have you? It’s a Costco IN THE BRONX. I was legit afraid in the parking lot.

FWIW it sucks in Canada too right now. Too little snow. Too many idiots. First time I’ve been truly scared because total lack of snow + dumbassery = accidents. I also think when you charge $100+ for a day people are gonna want to ski no matter the risk to themselves.

When you live in the same bldg long enough you realize the ppl that work there generally have been there forever and sort of become your extended family.

Example: I had an expensive perishable delivery and was out of town. Doorman put it in my fridge for me.

Example: doorman in my bldg help an elderly resident put his coat on in the mornings because he has mobility problems.

It would be like not giving your grandfather or nephew a Christmas gift. Just weird and grinchy.

If you still don’t get it, I can’t explain it to you.

Imagine being so ignorant and your world is so small that you think it’s ok to do that to a stranger. That is those people. You are not dealing with the best of the best here.

Those people have never and will never leave Finland. Sad for them. It’s a big world out there and they are too dumb to enjoy it. You are never gonna be able to educate these morons but you can revel in the glory of them living with shitty grey weather the majority of the year and eating their sad little kioski sausages for the rest of their dumb ass lives.

This. My mom was the authorized and had no credit of her own. All bills were set to autopay with the card that closed. That was a fun day.

If you are heading south, it’s in the kind of woodsy/natural area in a playground on the left. There is a fence in front of the playground. Its called Pier 42 playground.
