You know you're a New Yorker when...
... You make a snap judgement about someone the moment they tell you what high school they went to
... You remember having a 212 or 718 land line
... You always are tempted to say "take the 1239(rip)"
... Your middle school self's highest aspiration in life was to go to z100's jingle ball

A6 why does your mind go to black folks when you start trying to prove that racism against whites is an issue. I wanna know. Let's chat. Explain you me this phenomenon. Especially since it could have been any other race/ethnicity that you pulled on to demonstrate your point

Why do you need to make the comparison if you're just trying to say that the OP is wrong for singling out white people? Do you have no better defense? (Sayyy, that gentrifiers can be any wealthy people at all, and that everyone in NYC is a gentrifier if they can still afford to live there, etc)
Why don't you make good arguments? Why does your mind go to hypocrisy because "if it were black people, everyone would care about the racism" which is 1) not true and 2) irrelevant, transparent, and obnoxious

That culture you desperately seek is alive and well in certain suburbs (central LI cough) and queens. NYC changes. You want decrepit then go live in a decrepit place, you know where those are. Enjoy getting jumped for your AMEX

A3- yassssssss girl. Bk born and raised here. Also a Columbia grad 🙏🏽

PE - pretty awesome! Congrats!! How’d you pivot to it from consulting?

The "down to earth NYers" you yearn for live in every other city. NY is a place for migrants who want to bring the best they got, creatives and badasses in their own right, that's what NY offers the world... middle class families should go to Atlanta or Chicago or wherever

Replace "white" in OP's follow-up post with "black" or any other race and this post would be lit up with accusations of racism

A6 please leave 🙄 you don't have to jump at every chance to talk about black folks.

A3- yessss plz. Consultantdee1@gmail.com

OP - I have to say I’m not sure what that means and I read the urban dictionary definition and it wasn’t pleasant. Soooo... no I haven’t. Plz explain

SA1- your list is soooo accurate. I still got my 718 cell and land line. And Jingle Ball was something we won in HS!!
