With crime up, traffic worse than ever, expensive housing, and many other choices to live a frum quality of life, is it time to accept the fact that the glory days of Brooklyn being the “in town” is over? Yes there are a few vibrant shuls those who are fortunate to come from wealth and got help buying a house can still hack it but otherwise who’s it good for?
Yes it is the beginning of decline.
“Brooklyn is the new out of town”
We’ve been hearing what the OP says since at least the 1960s. That’s 60+ years.
REAL GOOD HEIMESHEH KUGEL: End of an Era?
YES IT IS!!! YOU LITVOCKS MESSED UP KUGEL!!!!!! GO SAY TACHNUN!!!Come one choosid we all know you got those stashes of litvishe kugel in your kitchen
Their all moving now to Brooklyn NJ which is what Lakewood became and is just getting worse and worse whenever I speak to someone living there or visiting there
NYC as a whole is a huge cesspool. The rents are ridiculous, the real estate is untouchable and to boot no space you are a shared driveway away. The Yeshivas are overcrowded with a cookie-cutter mentality and there is no sense of community at least in my eyes edited. On the plus side, you can choose 4 pizzerias in a two-block span, tons of bakeries, kosher markets, butchers, etc…but no one wishes you a good Shabbos 9 out of 10 times. edited Travel anywhere, PA, NJ, CT, CA, etc the smaller communities appreciate one another, they are grateful that there is a minyan, etc. B’H I hope to not be living in Brooklyn in 5 years too noisy, too dirty, too crowded full of shmutz, the tattooed and pierced.
sorry about the edits, needed to leave out the more personally directed comments
