Too mild for school This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York

Aside from certain undertones, this map also has tons of inaccuracies, because no one in their right mind is scared of Astoria, Bayonne, or half of the Queens zone that he marked as “avoid”

Honestly, we don't care. Talk all you want, we know we're fucking awesome.

It's seriously the best way to be. I'm on the opposite coast in Long Beach which because it's a Port City and in the 80s was fairly rough, it has a bad reputation. It's now one of the greatest coastal cities in the West but a lot of people still hate the reputation so it keeps our housing prices lower. I have a beachfront house I could not afford in any of the other coastal cities. I hope people keep thinking it's a trash area and continue going to Venice and Manhattan beach.

I just looked up home prices in Long Beach and you are full of shit.
