1. Wheatly Heights is = Wyandanch, which is a totally segregated ghetto with a HORRIBLE crime and drug problem. And not withstanding “your friend”, the MARKET rents are no where near $500 in anything that wouldnt make So Central look like Upper Brookville.
smack dab in the middle of wyandanch and dix hills – wyandanch doesn’t get really bad til you cross the train tracks
and regardless – it’s a different school district.
so you’re saying Brownsville > Wheatley Heights?
“FSRQ — This is just the problem. It’s a false promise of opportunity.”
Yes tybur6 we get it- those millions of people who all move here (leaving family, friends, culture and $ behind) are all fools – ONLY YOU know the truth.
How do live with your wonderfulness on a day to day basis?
Its not a no-brainer that unfortunates economically right at the bottom should live in the most expensive city in the US.
“Really? Tell that to my friend who rents a 1 bedroom apartment in Wheatley Heights, zoned for the Half Hollow Hills East school district for 500 bucks a month.”

Try again
“And people move to NYC all the time for one reason – opportunity”
FSRQ — This is just the problem. It’s a false promise of opportunity.
That’s not dumb.
More teens are killed in drunk driving accidents than by being shot.
Right 11217…. that’s why I qualified what i meant by negligible. I thought your reading skills were better than FSRQ’s. I own and maintain a used car… and keep track of my expenses very closely. My annual expenses are NOT that different from the $1,100 MetroCard.
FSRQ — I thought you were calling for “real facts”?? But as soon as they are provided… you reply with hyperbole and pointlessness.
“People leave the NYC metropolitan area all the time for one reason – it’s too expensive.”
And people move to NYC all the time for one reason – opportunity
So what
“This would be great if true, but it isnt even close to true(renting from your wealthy parents doesnt count)”
Really? Tell that to my friend who rents a 1 bedroom apartment in Wheatley Heights, zoned for the Half Hollow Hills East school district for 500 bucks a month.
“AND a much much greater chance than getting hit a bullet is getting run over by a Drunk Driver or becoming that Drunk Driver when the kid retires his bicycle and starts driving at 17.”
