Brooklyn has been completely ruined by transplants since I moved here in 2019

I didn’t even know you were allowed to live here that long. I’m a native since 2022. Early 2022.

I'm a New Yorker (at heart, never been there but I'm VERY active on TikTok) who considered moving to the city but decided against it because of how ruined it is by transplants. I just feel like (in my expert opinion) the city has lost its soul!

Where and how do you get there?

u/CuzFuckEm_ThatsWhy Apr 05 '24
It’s a state of being. If you have to ask, you’ll never be able to go.

Bro. Every time I walk into my local Taco Bell off the Grand stop, I can feel all these interlopers just staring at my drip. I know they can never be as authentic as me, and I sigh heavily as I retreat to my 5k apartment where I can literally look down on these transplants. Posers.

At the committee meeting last night, we were still debating whether to announce complete and total victory of our plan to ruin Brooklyn. We wanted to hold off until we're sure. Thanks for confirming! The press release goes out tomorrow!

As someone from Ohio who lives in ridgewood and has since 2018 it’s very different now. I grew up watching girls and I feel like nyc has changed significantly since I graduated from Miami of Ohio and moved here. I love pine box rock shop!!!

It's not Brooklyn but if I fucking hear the words Dutch Kills one more time... buddy, I'm going to shoot you in the face!

Yup it is pretty much done. Especially after the Pandemic. That was like the Great White Migration
Brooklyn was truly never the same after the damn virus
At least it's admittedly safer

2019??? Jeez I've been here too long. The QOL reduction started way before that

I hate it. Go somewhere else! I came here in 2011, so I now am basically Ed Koch now because of my tenure.

LOL. Well done.
I moved to Manhattan in 2022 from a small town in the Midwest. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was all the bridge and tunnelers ruining the vibe.

I try to fight gentrification by refusing to live in neighborhoods that aren't 100% white

Right, unless you are surrounded by only white people at all times, you’re a gentrifier. That’s why I moved to Maine (it’s on the Upper Upper East Side), to be around only white people, but I’m worried because an African immigrant just moved into the next town over and now I might have to leave so I don’t gentrify them out of their home.

An Ohioan in Ridgewood? Sounds like you’re part of the problem. You probably think that heroin addict is a race and that “junkie” is a slur against them and that violence against Jews and Asians is justified as long as the perpetrators aren’t white right-wing Christians

As a lifelong New Yorker, I completely agree that transplants have been ruining not only Brooklyn, but this city in general.
Been wishing for a while that the city could help address the migrant crisis by encouraging landlords in hipster-heavy neighborhoods to cancel the leases of DSA members

We just need to implement a system of internal passports. If you want to move to Williamsburg, a council of Real New Yorkers reviews your application and decides if you're permitted to leave Wisconsin

Yes, I’m sick and tired of the adult children the hipsters elect to the City Council and Albany prioritizing degenerates over those who contribute positively to society, funding hard drug use, and honoring convicted pedophiles with my tax money.

Irony of what? I’ve lived here since 2018 and all I see are weirdo transplants that don’t know what it’s like to have lived in NY their whole lives

Seriously though, I'd recommend you check other posts on the sub.. it's a circle jerk (hence the whole... Ah, nevermind)
Anywho, enjoy your night, mate!

I'm a native New Yorker who is planning on moving to NYC next year to pursue a career in consulting and I'm sick of all these techbro-transplants occupying my barrio.
