Patrick says

ive been told elmhurst, astoria, jackson heights are all OK

and to literally never go to the bronx or brooklyn


All of those places are meh. Bayside, Whitestone, and Malba. Top three places.

Patrick says

queens has been pretty good to me so far though i havent ventured far too far into it and i only stick to neighborhoods that seem adequately safe



Whitestone/Malba area is the safest you're gonna get, IMO.

There are some really really bad places in Queens. I went to school in Jamaica and it was a looot different than my hometown.

Honestly I really miss living in the city. Long Island is horrific when it comes to transportation, but the community is a lot better.


Long Island is a nice place to grow up, but I can't imagine spending the rest of my life here.


Me too. It's...different. A lot different than Queens.


Yeah, what I love about Queens is that it has a certain ruggedness element to it. Whenever I meet someone from Queens, I always get this vibe from them like "yeah, I've seen some [redacted]". There's a certain trait of Queens people that I almost always am drawn to.


Queens is rugged, but it's not super bad. There's also a lot to do and it's fairly easy to get into the city. It was about 20 mins by express bus for me.

But yeah, Queens people definitely have a unique factor to them. I've noticed Long Island people are more blasé, kind of.


I love the ruggedness, Queens people are usually really chill by comparison to Brooklyn/Manhattan people, at least those that actually grew up there.

Part of it is because a lot of Long Island towns are pretty culturally isolated, and besides the exodus of baby boomers from Queens who moved out here, it's people who have been here for a while and are pretty content to not look beyond their borders at all.

To live in Manhattan you need to:

1) have no issues with claustrophobia
2) be keen on walking everywhere
3) not be afraid of heights
3) master the art of walking everywhere
4) get used to seeing construction every ten blocks

honestly i feel like if you're not living in a city you're restricting your potential so i'm not going to settle down in the suburbs until i'm ready to start a family

personally i think manhattan is a wonderful place to live but it requires a certain mindset, and if you aren't a city person you won't enjoy it at all.


I think it depends on which location you're in, but I agree. City life in general is totally different than suburban or rural life.

Once my job goes perm and I get a salary bump, I'd love to move to manhattan, but studios are both tiny and exorbitantly expensive. I'll likely find my own place in Brooklyn or Queens somewhere.

cheating threads, aka a no holds barred slam fest against whichever user you didn't like being accused of cheating.

actually i think i know what made em so aggressive back in '12. there were more competing families that people cared about. like compare bad boyz v. one (the family that atikur/brown made). that went on for a very long time. now no one gives a crap about families.


i think people just cared more.


yeah there's that too. people actually gave a poop about the competition and there were like 3x as many people who would compete.

it's sort of like when the history teacher wants you to engage in a mock debate over something like the electoral college or something. it doesn't matter, and people shouldn't care, but people get very fiery about it and will get weirdly invested in their side winning for no fathomable gain.
