ahahahha @ that comment ahahahahahahahah

What? It's an honest question. He thanks the new people for coming into the neighborhood and increasing his property values but cusses them out in the next breath for even being here. Perhaps he'd prefer to go back to the days of exorbitant crime and poor property values. His property "worth millions"now (oh yeah, I own the Trump building. Did I forget to mention that? You believe me, right. I mean, I wrote it on the internets so it must be true!!) would be worth shit if it wasn't for the newcomers he so claims to loathe.

Obamanut you are surrounded by hipsters and strollers! I'd sell off that property and run to a safer place. Imagine the children of the hipster generation - that's going to be a real nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I own an 8-unit apartment building across from the Park. I'm not sure if you're familiar with current Park Slope property values (maybe you've missed the window postings in any of the 500 realtors on 7th Ave), but a property of that size is worth well into the millions. Chop it up into condos/co-ops, and it's worth even more. Why would I lie? Apparently you've chosen to flatter yourself by believing that I actually care what some out-of-towner thinks about me (or anything else for that matter), either on here or in real life.
Thanks for letting me know about how my neighborhood 'used to be,' though--funny, but myself and all of my friends who grew up in those days of "exorbitant crime and poor property values" all made it through just fine--imagine that!

Nah, I'm not giving in and selling like many of my poorly informed fellow-natives. Owning property in Park Slope right now is like owning a money tree, and there doesn't appear to be any end in sight, on account of the endless line of lemmings willing to pay any amount of money just to live here. Hell, I've even considered renting out my boiler room.
The kids of the hipster generation will not be able to remain here--the money has to run out eventually. The only reason the hipster-yuppies are able to pull off this ridiculous act of theirs is because their upper-middle class baby boomer parents back in the 'burbs, who have real jobs, have already paid their own house and car off, and can afford to throw all that disposable income at their spoiled kids in NYC. The hipster/yuppies won't be able to do the same for their offspring, so they'll either have to live with their parents forever, or head off somewhere more affordable. -

Children of hipsters will grow up the same as any other generation. Some will adopt the values of their parents and dress/shop accordingly. Others will rebel/loathe their parents and grow up to be republicans, christians or country music singers. It's always the same old story. -
ON would like everyone to move away so he can play stick ball in the streets again. How Brighton Beach Memoirs of you!

Good one! And then, I'll chug an egg cream before heading off for a game of skelsies with the Lords of Flatbush.
When all else fails, make fun of Native Brooklyn culture--it's sure to get a few guffaws from the newcomer peanut gallery.

On a semi-related note, you don't really OWN the property when the deed is in your mom's name (and she still lives there) and you change a couple of bulbs in the hall in exchange for free rent and the hopes she'll leave it to you in her will.
Just sayin'. -

Whatever lets you sleep better at night!

Oh baby, I sleep fine. Apparently, you don't. What with all the mid westerners coming home from the bar at 4 AM, singing outside your windows. I'm surprised you get a wink. They make cream for those bags.

Right, "people come and go," that's why when I grew up here, almost everyone that was here was FROM here.. EVERYONE. Either that, or they were from ANOTHER COUNTRY, i.e. an immigrant.
...I think that's how NYC works. People come and go. There is always a change in people or else there would be nothing special about New York City - it would just be people living. No ebb and flow of people coming and going.
“One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years” -- Thomas Wolfe
Just because some people weren't born here, don't hold that against us. We didn't get to choose that -- we DID get to choose to move here.
When some kid was from another state, e.g. California, it was like this big exotic deal.
See, that is exactly what I'm talking about. You have no idea what Brooklyn was "always" like, because you just got here. Some of us have been here for generations. Yet you feel the need to tell me "how New York works."
Apparently you're not grasping this, but you should know that it's not the transient, long-term tourists that give a place its character--it's the NATIVES. Name one good thing that New York is famous for that is the product of suburban kids coming here on parentally-funded trysts? New York became world-famous because of its accent, its spirit, its attitude, sense of humor, etc. etc. etc... Funny, but I don't recall any of that being the product of Dylan or Caitlyn from Eagle Ridge Drive.
It has nothing to do with being "lucky" to be from New York. It has to do with the difference between this once being a place where real, genuine, people lived and died, as opposed to a movie set used by hordes of media-brainwashed followers to act out a television fantasy on mommy and daddy's tab.
oh no, the world is changing. I'm scared. -

One at a time, my boy. One at a time. It's not Mougar's turn yet. -

You should be. Once the money runs out, you'll be forced to leave behind your "urban" brethren, who you have so much in common with, and return to Pennsatucky to face the captain of the football team and the homecoming queen, whose taunts and jeers drove you to leave your small town in the first place to find others like yourself.

sorry, I was commenting on your attitude, not my own. My job involves construction, so your namesake's stimulus bill ensures my continued employment for quite some time. But if I have to move back home, I guess Queens could be considered a small town.
you are like a broken record - all of your comments are about some perceived slight or insult committed by a group of people that you imagine exist all around you.
if you don't like the neighborhood why don't you move away and spare us all the angst and drama; no one wants to hear it. -

which is it - a money tree with no end in sight or is the world changing and the money running out soon? Either you're getting rich off of the hipsters you hate, which I'm sure pisses you off, or you're going to be screwed when all the hipsters you hate can no longer pay exorbitant rates and have to move out, which would also piss you off.
I think you just like having an enemy. -

So far this is my favorite response in the Obamanut Wars. Funny. But when are we gonna get back to making fun of people's pants and t-shirt choices?
Just sayin'. -
the city will come to his rescue and make it an SRO, filled with drunks and junkies.
Happy days are here again! -

I appreciate your concern for me, but I have several reasons for remaining in the neighborhood, and I can guarantee you that any one of them is more valid than an entire block full of newcomers' reasons for being here combined. -
^^ Obamanut has a brother who's a doctor. Apparently, he's the good son and ON is scared mom will leave the brownstone to him.

I would have to find a way to laugh too if I was in your position. Flushing away tens upon tens of thousands of dollars a year down the toilet on exorbitant rent, almost half of your income, with nothing to show for it but the ridiculous bragging rights among others of living in some "trendy" neighborhood in a now has-been city. I'm laughing too, but in a different way. 8) -

I didn't know there were valid and invalid reasons for wanting to move to a certain place.
And you do imagine it - you exaggerate it. you simply assume that everyone you see is some kind of poseur who moved here from the midwest with their parents' help. undoubtedly that applies to some people but not nearly the number you think. maybe it makes you feel good to think you have some kind of superiority over other people simply because you were born someplace. but you know, your constantly bitching about other people's lifestyle - or what you assume their lifestyle is - does not actually affect them, it just makes you seem petty. -

Uh huh. So all of these 22-30 year old kids flocking in here, after graduating from ridiculously expensive private colleges, working as "production assistants," "freelance writers," "barmaids," so all of these people are just simply able to 'afford' to live in the most expensive neighborhoods of one of the most expensive cities in the country.. just like that, huh? Not to mention the bar-hopping, constant eating out, shopping, etc. That's something else alright. I would love to have those money management skills, to be able to live like that on less than $50k a year.

Anyway, I have done enough research on my own to know that I am right. I have had many newcomer acquaintances and coworkers, after I cleverly gained their trust, admit to me that "their parents help them out with rent and stuff."
I could care less what you think I "seem" to be, petty or anything else. I come here to engage in discourse about my neighborhood and the issues that affect it, not to make friends. I have enough of those from the strong community which I was raised in; I don't need to resort to the internet or another city to seek some out. -
It's a conspiracy! Thank God you were "able to gain their trust"!! That was so very clever of you! Put yourself out there to your co-workers as a decent, friendly guy but in reality, you're an ass. I see the plan now! How silly I am for being interested in history, politics, social activities! I should hop on the Obamanut Nut Train and "gain the trust" of naive mid westerners so I, too, can feel superior on an internet message board!
Dude, you just outed yourself as the biggest nutfuck in history. -

Of course, "social activities" like posting tit-for-tat inside joke messages on an internet message board all day with strangers? "Schlomo's a hipster"--"Can I be one if you are?"--"I'll slap you with Mamacita's underwear, tee hee"--"ROFLMFAO."
Dude, you just outed yourself as the biggest nutfuck in history.
Your agenda must be downright packed. If only I could reach that lofty level of popularity one day.
Howdy, Stranger!
