Have you read ANY of my posts about gentrification?
I don't have the energy, and people are probably tired of me posting about it anyway. But that New York City is gone and it's not coming back. And what are you, in your thirties, right?
I'm not breaking your balls because you know I like you. But the changes started when you were just a kid. Plus, you didn't really grow up here anyway. Just imagine if you lived here all your life and you couldn't afford to live in a neighborhood where your family dwelled for three generations. Such unfortunates DO EXIST. Missing out on a peep show is small potatoes by comparison (but I feel your pain there, too
).
